Staghorn Ferns
There are plants that I love without reason – the Staghorn Fern is such a plant. Perhaps it is the name, or the way it attaches itself to a surface, which it will eventually engulf, or that eats bananas! (Yes, the best way to feed this fern is to place a banana peeling on it, and let the plant absorb the nutrients of the peel.
I did not attempt to grow the Staghorn until I moved to Florida, where while not overly common, is certainly not a rare sight in people’s yards. They can grow quite large and very heavy, and are easy to propagate, by simply dividing the plant with a sharp knife.
