This is my beautiful new fern that I purchased at Sprout in Brooklyn. The people who work there are incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about each plant. Sprout offers a class the first Thursday of each month to enhance the green thumb for novices. Contact the store for further details.
The plant grows with one kind of frond against the tree and another type jutting out like a flattened male deer's antler, away from the tree, hence the name Staghorn fern. The later fronds are the fertile spore-carrying kind. If the conditions are right the spores will germinate naturally on surrounding trees
