I just bought one, mounting onto driftwood, piece is 45 yo. I used a smaller pc of wood to mount to the driftwood. Gorgeous ❤😊

Great video! Two questions: How do I water a wall mounted plant like this? If it attaches itself to the wood and you have to change it to a bigger piece of wood do you just rip it off or how does that work?

[@jensimmonds7356]

Great question

[@krazykitty5750]

I use a squeeze bottle, plastic ketchup/or mustard bottle, cleaned, filled with rain water. Sprinkler can pour too much.😮😊

[@danielleosfalg]

how would you water that on that wall???

[@purplepear8505]

At what point does it start rounding so other ferns can sprout?

[@GrowParadise]

It can take several years for these Staghorn ferns to mature

[@jensimmonds7356]

How do you water and fertilize this?

[@GrowParadise]

Good question, I remove it from the Velcro fixing, lay it flat and wet the root ball. After a few hours I hang it back up. 👍

where do you buy the dry spagnum moss?

[@GrowParadise]

It’s listed in the video description 👍

[@karenteasdale7341]

We need to stop using spagnum to preserve our peat bogs.

[@GrowParadise]

That is a VERY valid point. Thank you for sharing. Can you recommend good alternatives?
