Mounting Staghorn Fern on a Cutting Board | Here She Grows

I love staghorn fern! They're sculptural, prehistoric looking and so easy to care for. We are in the process of redoing our south-facing bedroom and I wanted to include a big staghorn fern on one of the walls. I had the mount - a beautiful cutting board I found at Homegoods for $10 - I just needed a decent sized staghorn. My friend Amanda came through with one she had hanging out in her eclectic and funky plant shop, Aster Gardens in Lemont, IL. I highly recommend a visit to Amanda's place. She's a wealth of plant knowledge...and not just houseplants!
Here's the link to the fertilizer I use from Cute Farms. It's for Tillandsia but it works for all epiphytic plants:

Hi there! My name is Heather and I garden in zone 5B, recently changed to 6a, in the southwest suburbs of Chicago on a small residential lot. My garden lives a whole lot larger than it is and I love sharing tips and tricks, as well as plenty of mistakes, with others who love to play in the dirt.

Hi Heather! Thank you for demo. You're a pro! I know a guy who was making these many yrs ago, but I didnt know how. He only shared pictures. Also, thank you for the container info! Appreciated ❤

Hi Gina! I swear by that cement mixing container from Home Depot. I've seen other soil mixing trays for $50 from the garden catalogs but this $7 tray does the same thing and for so much less. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful weekend!
