Oh, hey. My mother has one of those hanging in her (south facing) living room. I think it's in some kind of pot, but you can't see it under the shields. She waters it in the shower, and says the shields get bigger every time it's watered. The white fluff is truly adorable. I think you've done a really good job taking care of it. It's looking absolutely lovely.
Thank you! I'm about to feature that in my next video. I did think about container growing this, but I'm quite happy with it hanging. Cheers from Iowa City
I have many staghorns as they are native to and grow rampantly in Australia Most attach to tree trunks under their canopies, they are pretty drought tolerant and like to face in the direction that the sun rises, so east facing for me. I grow some in terracotta pota and they love it and attach to the sides as they take over the pot. Also have many on boards and in hanging wire baskets. It's common to use old pantyhose to attach to boards. Stretchy, soft and easy to tie.
snappy outfit and helpful advice. I have two types of stag horn, and wasn't sure it was Ok to fertilize them. Thanks for your secrets :fertilizer tips as well as the pest spray. I'm going to write that one down. Finding out what products feed and keep those giant gorgeous plants healthy is a big part of why I watch plant tube...The other part, there's no stress!
Thank you! I, too, love PlantTube sooo much. I'm going to make a very brief video on "my" pest spray. Look for that one, if you don't already have something you love. Cheers 😀
Mine is huge about 10 years old. re-potted it once. It sits on stand with two big south-facing windows. so lots of light. Lives cool in the winter. I have a space behind the plant in the pot. I can feel if it is try and topp up with fresh water from our own well. I usually spray the air in the room if it is hot. My hoyas, benjamin fikus, paradise trees and cacti live in the same room. There is no heating in the room at all in the winter.
Nice! Sadly, I have to close down that porch toward the end of November. The plant has grown so much since that video that I'm beginning to wonder what on earth I'll do ....
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this beautiful plant. I was given one of these by a friend who was moving. I’ve since split it into three plants. I grow mine outside in the San Francisco Bay Area, and they’re absolute beasts. Interestingly, mine seem to do best in bright shade.
If you're living, and growing plants, in San Francisco, I'd say you have MANY advantages over us in the Midwest 🤣 Bright shade is probably just about what I'm replicating (or at least trying to) inside. Thanks for the nice comment 😀
Thanks for showing which brands of fertilizer you use (removes the need to play the guessing game) and I love your choice of mounting board, very fun and unique! A great gift!
I think that's a rather generous assessment -- but thank you! I was just giving family a house tour and, of course, the stag was the showstopper. I forget that there are lots of people who have never seen one, let alone one mounted up and growing massive. I've officially got a monster on my hands this summer 😆
I would love one of these, but I don’t think I have the space or the light. One of these days I’ll get some good track lighting and then I could put one above the fireplace. Thanks for the video only recently found your channel and I am enjoying it.
Hello from Ottumwa. Do you plan on replacing the spagnum moss with fresh like we do repotting plants into fresh soil. I've had mine for almost 3 years and wondered if I need to freshen up the spagnum moss or not. Mine is mounted on a cedar plank, but I love what you did with yours. Mine spends the summers outside protected by direct sun. It's grown well but yours outshines mine by about a foot. I enjoyed your video very much. Thanks and have a great week
I would gauge that like I would a moss pole. If it gets really compacted and just isn’t holding moisture anymore, I’ll remount it. Good to hear from you again!
Here, at least, those common names are interchangeable for the actual species Platycerium bifurcatum. But it's also virtually the only species widely available. Perhaps we play fast and loose up here 😆
@@soberplantguy yep, I just saw an amazing collection on Gardening Australia. I had no idea how many varieties there are and how different they all are. His collection was remarkable.

Beautiful plant I have this plant and I will try to take pictures of it in 25 years it grows so much.
Thank you! It has grown soo much since that video 😊

Great vid. Looking forward to getting mine out of a pot and on to a plaque this week!

I have one too and it’s one of my favorite plants. Yours looks soo great! ❤❤
Ah, thanks so much! I'll just add the Staghorn to the list of a million things I've been wrong about 🤣😅🤣
I would love one of these, but I don’t think I have the space or the light. One of these days I’ll get some good track lighting and then I could put one above the fireplace. Thanks for the video only recently found your channel and I am enjoying it.
Thank you! When you do get that track lighting, it’ll work 😄
I want and need to find one.
Hopefully it won't take long! They are defiantly popping up here in eastern Iowa. Cheers

Elk and Stag horns are different. There's a plethora of varieties.
