WATCH ME Divide & Mount to a Basket - Staghorn Fern Chandelier - Bromeliads, Orchids & Ferns
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 лип 2019
- In this DIY we show you how simple it is to divide stag horn ferns, remount to a basket and create a tropical chandelier effect using bromeliads, orchids, air plants and other ferns. In this video you will see how I propagated the stag horn fern, epiphyllums, rabbit's foot fern and bromeliads for this display. Majority of the plants used in this arrangement are epiphytic and are found growing in the stag horn's natural environment which make them plants that will thrive and coexist well with one another. I also selected tropical plants that are easy to grow with very little to no maintenance.

Stunning and so natural Looking
BEAUTIFUL VIDEO!!! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! I AM GOING TO DO THIS WITH MY STAGHORN AND ELKHORN FERNS.
Spectacular!!!!!!!
Exactly what kind of video I was looking for. I have a rescued staghorn basket and will be doing this with some creativity now thanks to you and your plant love videos
Truly stunning 🤩 you knocked this one out of the park!!
Wow! I'm so glad I stumbled on this video. I have been stuck with 4 of the plants in that you added in the chandelier as a newbie plant artist. A plus on the way you deliver is so fun too. Thanks a bunch.
Thank you so much your video gave me some direction into what need to do with ball of plant that was given to me.
Your voice is so engaging. It would be a perfect voice for a weather or news reporter.
So beautiful
I realized that I was holding my breath while the cutting was being done. Got control of myself & watched to the end. Glad I did. Much better for the plants to be separated. & lovely to look at.
You were holding your breath!!! LOL! I guess I was too...and was thrilled that I could breath a great big sigh of relief in the end! WHEEEEEEW! I am so happy with the results and even more happier that I could give her a brand new and beautiful start! YAAAAAAAAAAY! Thanks for watching and joining me on this adventure!! I am wishing you the best in your growing adventures and HAPPY GROWING! P.S. If you you had to hold your breath for this one...stay tuned for my next propagation project...it's gonna be quite a breath taker! OH MY! LOL!
😍
Thanks Maria, just the perfect idea for a clump of staghorns that i found on a tree that had fallen down onto a bushtrack in Sydney Aust. Ive also got most of the other plants in my backyard including a couple of old empty hanging baskets.
Will be this weekends project and hoping for it to be as spectacular as yours. Thanks 👍🏾
AWESOME!!! I hope that your basket/mount arrangement comes out beautiful and that you are able to appreciate and enjoy it a lot more. Thanks so much for watching and HAPPY GROWING!
Beautiful! I'd love to see an update. 😀

Beautiful and inspiring display, love it! will use your idea in North Queensland. Thanks so much!
There is something mysterious and magical about staghorn ferns someday i will have enough outdoor space to grow one like you do :) nice video
You are absolutely right...they are very mysterious and magical...an irresistible lure that simply draws in you! I do love them! ...and when you get your outdoor growspace I am hoping you get a humunga dunga one that will take your breath away every time you look at it! :) HAPPY GROWING!
Love the arrangement
Thanks so much! I really love her too and can't wait to see her more grown in! She should become quite a beautiful statement piece...and that is to be wild and carefree! She's a gal after my own heart! Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING MY DEAR! :)
Wow! This is so inspiring ❤
Beautiful 😍
Brilliant idea!! Thank you so much
Thanks so much for your positive feedback and for watching! Happy growing!
That turned out to be beautiful!👌🏽
Thank you...the results far exceeded my expectations...not to mention it was a big sigh of relief! I am very pleased with it and am so happy I could share this project. Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING!
It looks great you done the most amazing job wow .
Thanks so much!!! This one really made me nervous! I had no idea of what the end result would be! But I am glad I stuck to my guns and managed to fight through my doubt to give her a new and beautiful start! Now she is on a new path in her own growing adventures and I am so excited to see her in about 5 or 6 months. I have such high hopes! Wish her luck and keep your fingers crossed!
Wow!!!!,🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 you are a super creative lady!!!! I love it!!!! I miss my house in Miami😢
Awwwwww thank you! I am always super excited when I am able to bring a vision to reality. I am glad that you love it as much as I do! ...and Miami has the best weather for tropical plant life! I enjoyed my visit there so much that I wanted to move there. Hoping one day I can make that vision into reality too! Thanks for joining me on this adventure and I am wishing you the absolute best! HAPPY GROWING MAGGIE! :)
Awesome!!! Great visual. Congratulations 🎊🎈🍾
Thank you! It was a mission to get this done...but very much needed. I had a whole lotta fun making the video and I am glad you were able to join me on this adventure! HAPPY GROWING dear friend! :)
I kept waiting for the ants again!! Great work.
Thank you and HA HA HA!!!! If you look closely there were lots of them in there...I just ignored them for the sake of trying to get the video as soon as possible. LOL!
Well done ! Looks very natural . :)
Wooooow!! I can’t wait until mine get big like that. This was awesome. Congrats my friend 💕💕
Thank you and yes they really can make quite a magnificent display when they get large. Much love and big hugs to you dear friend. HAPPY GROWING! :)
It's inspired me to make my own 🌿😊 thank you
That is so awesome! I can't wait for you to create your own plant masterpiece. I would love to see a picture of it when it is completed. If you wouldn't mind please send me a pic either in an email (picturemaria@gmail.com) or on my instagram (MyOrchidAdventures). I would love to see it! HAPPY GROWING!
Great video and i love the diversification of all the different plants..grasses, bromeliads and ferns...
would be great if you could show an update in 2022 as to how it looks now?? 🙂 thanks.
Great design your collection beautiful visions of great arrangements love my hair is like my color 😍 💕
Thank you for sharing
Thanks so much for watching and joining me on my plant growing adventures! HAPPY GROWING!
Wow Maria, those staghorns are tough as s**t to break up! You slayed the beast and managed to give it new life in beautiful setup! Great job.
Thank you and yes they are tough critters and can grow on almost anything and just as long as they receive enough water and moisture they can become enormous monsters known to eat up anything they are mounted on! LOL! ...and yes I came in with a mission...and I succeeded an conquered the beast...but it was only tough love knowing that the end result was for its best interest. I do have to say it looks so much more happier and I believe is loving her new makeover! HAPPY! HAPPY! JOY! JOY!
Nice.
Thanks for watching and HAPPY GROWING!
Excellent job! A beautiful focal piece and a subject of conversation for any visitors! And i don't mean ants ;)
Thank you!!! and yes as soon as I step in my garden she catches my attention and puts me in a trance. She indeed is quite a focal point...WITHOUT ANTS!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!
AESOME !!!!!
Thank you for watching and have a plantastic day! Happy Growing!
Maria,Super super nice, I like everything you create, I will copy your display, I love it, great job, all the best, love Angelika Caruso, Melbourne fl 😊
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! ...and you are just too kind to me!!! I am excited to see what you come up with! Make sure you send me a pic. I would love to see it! Also just some tips that I learned...if you are propagated a staghorn make sure that you cut down some of the pad backing. Just as long as it is at least an inch or two thick it should be fine. That will make it easier for you to attach onto the basket...also you have the option of using wire or fish line string. I opted for the fish line string because I didn't want it to be really visible. I didn't add any sphagnum moss to my backing because it was attached to the basket with the coconut liner that is filled with soil. Just as long as I water on a regular basis it should have more than enough needed moisture and water for the plant. I am wishing you the best in your project and I can't wait to see it! HAPPY GROWING! BIG HUGS AND MUCH LOVE TO YOU DEAR FRIEND FROM MELBOURNE!!!!
It's beautiful!
I can't believe you put an aparagus weed in the pot though 😕 will eventually take over your whole garden 😅😅
I will definitely be trying this now with my staghorns. Greetings from AU!
Beautiful! I have a large one on a large pot in my living room floor. I live here in NY, and can’t have it outside like you do. Maybe I can cut a few growth and plant them in a hanging basket. Thanks for the idea and thanks for sharing.
Thank you!!! ...and you most certainly can put them in pots or baskets. Best wishes and HAPPY GROWING! 🤗
Very nice. I have one that is so huge I can't pick it up. It's at least 3 ft tall and 5 ft wide. Now i know what I can do to lighten my load and enhance my yard.
Hey PhalPal Maria, I am about to go live so stay tuned. I was needing help dividing a dendrobium keiki and mounting on a piece of wood. Great video and very interactive. Happy Growing PhalPal Maria
Orchids for Dummies Thanks and I will try my best to join you...I am with my grandson and he is a handful so I got to keep a watchful eye on him. I would only mount a dendrobium keiki if it has a good amount of roots and at least about 4” long or longer. Remember to water daily to get the roots to establish and mount on the wood quicker. If you have more than one keiki I would mount them together to make a nice clump and when it grows out it will make a better and fuller display! I would also mount the den. with sphagnum moss to retain more water for a longer amount of time. Best of luck!
What a true masterpiece!!! My husband found a HUGE staghorn at the local dump of all places... It's in pretty bad shape but still has some life... I know nothing about them but I want to try hard to save it... Ur video was very informative and so cool to watch... Thx so much... I'm def a new subscriber... What u did here is nothing short of AMAZING...
Thanks so much for watching and for such kind and positive feedback. I really appreciate it! Congratulations on your find. Staghorn ferns are pretty hardy even when they’ve suffered extremely. Ensure that you give the staghorn fern ample amount of water while in recovery and keep it in medium to bright indirect or filtered light. I wish you the best with your rescue and would love it if you kept me posted. Thanks so much for joining me on my plant growing adventures and I do hope you visit often. HAPPY GROWING! 🦋🌸🌺
@@PictureMaria1 I was just outside trying to determine how to help the remaining life on the staghorn... It's so huge that I can't even pick it up much less even put my arms around it but there is only about 6 or 7 fern leaves still green... I didn't have a 10-10-10 or 20-20-20 fertilizer on hand just flowering miracle grow so I sprayed it down with to that... I figured any nutrients would be great for now... My question is should I separate the good ferns or just leave the ball as it is for now... You can imagine the stress it's already been through since my husband did find it at the local dump... I am going to be totally ecstatic if I am able to save what is left of this staghorn... I can tell this once was a stunning beauty...
I would just leave it as is and give it extra waterings...if it still has green leaves then it still can be restored. They can grow pretty quickly and right over the dead areas...so it will also give it good space to grow. Now that spring is almost here it will have great conditions for it to thrive well. I really believe it will bounce back in no time and you will have yourself an awesome specimen of a plant. Best wishes and good luck! 👍
@@PictureMaria1 Ur so sweet for getting back to me so quickly!!! Keeping it as is is great news... We cleaned out all the weeds and debris that didn't belong in it and actually found 4 chains to hang it from a tree... That was a great find especially now that we can keep it as is... We live in Florida... It will be happy here... We are so happy to have "her"... We could even hear her thanking us!!! Lol🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'll let u know after Spring how she's doing... Thank u again... Ur the best!!!🤗
YAAAAAAAAAY! It sounds like it was meant to be!!! I am glad you were able to discover this plant treasure in the least expected place and now it has found a forever home with you! I am sure it will bounce back in no time and reward you with its beauty! I also think the plant is grateful and relieved that you were able to save it from certain demise! You both did such an awesome thing and I am excited about your rescue mission! Keep me posted and HAPPY GROWING! PS Are you on Instagram? If so you can find me there under MyOrchidAdventure and you can share pics with me.
very pretty idead
Thank you! 🤗
thats some hard work chopping on that monster, Wow! Your Chandelier is gorgeous, nice job
Thank you and yes it was like a workout! I broke out in a sweat! LOL! I can't wait to see what it looks like when it grows out.
@@PictureMaria1 oh yes, you will have to do a update and show us how marvelous it is when it grows in good!
@@denisesorchidparadise1411 That's a promise! ...stay tuned for more! :)
Like this rejuvenation project for the staghorn fern. Does make a nice presentation in a more natural state. Well done! Enjoyed watching your video early this morning. So, what project is next?
Nice cleanup and mounting job. I need to do a number on mine, too; I have Areca palms growing in one of mine.. 😀😀😀
Thank you...and yes it was a heavy clean up job but one that was well worth it and should have been done a loooooong time ago. You have a palm growing in one of yours! WOWZERS! Looks like you are going to have a pretty hectic clean up job yourself...wishing you the best of luck and may the staghorn force be with you! LOL!
Huray thanks for 💪 arms and muscles well done 👍 and they are beautiful and smiling 👅 thanks for sharing
Well we all have to make those decisions, I was thinking of propagating different species by the spores... Seems easy enough.😉👍
Yea I will attempting to propagate by spores here in a little bit as well. Should be an awesome experiment. Can't wait to see how you do with yours.
G00D Evening from Auckland, New Zealand it’s Saturday, February 29, 2020.
❤❤❤
Did you say that was easy to do??? I got tired only watching you lol. But it was worth it, what a beautiful finish product!
Thank you and HA HA HA!!! Okay so maybe the concept in my head was easy but the actual attempt was a little bit harder....but it still wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be especially for this being my first time doing this type of project...just a lot of elbow grease! It was actually a big sigh of relief, I had no idea what I was going to end up with! Our intentions are always good but sometimes our execution...not so much! LOL! But like you said it was so wealth worth it and I am so thrilled and pleased with the results. You never know unless you try right!? Thanks for watching and Happy Growing my dear! 🌺🦋☀️🌸
Very good; lots of information - thank you for sharing. What can the plastic line be replaced with to not add garbage to posterity?
You could use string but being natural it will rot. You could use wire but you'll see it. Fishing line is the best but if you think it's garbage, just invent something better.
I want to see your new update in 2022.thanks for your tutorial
Nice job! I am looking to do the same with an old brass chandelier and chicken wire. I'm not sure what part of the country you're in. We're in GA. Would I need to bring the stag horn fern arrangement inside during the winter?
I like the knife that you used to separate the ferns. Do you remember where you purchased it from? 🤔
The Asparagus fern may end up being a mistake, they have very aggressive root systems and tend to choke out the competition. A beautiful display, though.
Thank you and yes that’s always a risk when planting a fern in any community of plants...they just don’t play well with others. Lucky for this arrangement it is separated in the basket and not actually mounted with the stag horn fern nor majority of plants. In time I do plan on changing it out. I will just have to keep a watchful eye over it.
Wow! One year on, how is this beauty doing? How has it evolved, grown, and changed? Thank you for sharing!
It is doing great. The stag horn ferns have multiplied and plants are still growing well. Some of the airplanes were blown down due to several rain storms and heavy winds but for the most part is is doing wonderful. I showed it in my live chat/garden tour but I do plan on doing an update on it.
Can't wait to try it, thanks
So after you have secured the fern to the outer basket and it remains there growing, does the root system adhere so much to the wire that it cannot be cut off? I just got my first staghorn fern FINALLY and it is in potting media; however, after acclimation, I want to have it grow the way you are showing here. However, I have NEVER seen the roots of this fern! I need any and all advice girl! Should I allow it in some potting media and put it inside the basket???
Maria, don’t we need to know where the roots are? How do we know we have enough root on the piece?
I've divided my staghorn fern to the point where I'm going to have to sacrifice some nodes to split it anymore. Its growing around itself and I dont know how to proceed.
How do you take care of it watering? I feel like you need to douse staghorns - do you do that often? Ferns like water too so I suppose :)
I watched this video a year ago. How is your arrangement doing ??
Did you water it in after you got thru?
Beautiful! Whasts the name of the bromeliad that you used
Unfortunately I don't quite know the exact type...but I do believe it is a neoregelia type.
What does it look like now?
I love this video but I also feel like I'm watching a horror film when she takes the knife to the Staghorn
Very cool. Imagine having to pay for it outright at a flower shop. What do you think it would go for?
THANK YOU and yes staghorn ferns can get pretty pricey especially for the larger ones that have been grown for several years...and as a large statement arrangement as this I imagine it would go in the hundreds. Sharon said that she believed that this type of arrangement would more than likely go for about $600...and that is quite a pretty penny if I do say so myself. :)
Put together a few and take them to the local Orchid dealer. Attach your name to it and up that by fifty percent. Go-Go Gadget Orchid Power!
HA HA HA!!! YOU ARE TOO FUNNY!!! ...and you always come up with such incredible ideas! When I get enough of them I will cut them up and put together some smaller plant arrangements and call them MY Orchid Adventure Plant Chandeliers! That'll be neat! :) Thanks for the suggestion! STAY AWESOME MY FRIEND! :)
Try a Mount and see what happens. A less expensive one. Say a $100 dollar mount. Bet you it sells. people be like; "Maria Young made this". You can Charge a tad extra due to your yt channel and noteriety. Just don't do what Martha tewart did and you should become a very successful Orchid Chic. I am serious. There is a market for high end Orchid Mounts. Weddings. Anniversaries. Birthdays. Maybe Daily Rentals. You could be Floridas Versace' orchid rental. The Gucci purse at a Wedding. No more working for someone else.
also, I am always petrified to allow any water to go into the crown of my bromiliads. Do yours ever suffer from the rain?
I found myself it itching to water it. How much water and how often does it require?
I water mine quite often...these love a whole lot of humidity and moisture so I don't think there is such a thing as overwatering with these guys.
Can you show an update on this ones progress please !
I had to laugh. I use a "ginsu" knife to cut my pups. 😂😂🤯🤯🤪
😂🤣😜👊🏻
did it survive?
Yes it did. It is growing well with several pups. Some of the tilandsias blew off from the heavy storms we received but other than that the arrangement is intact. I think I showed it in one of my live chats. I will try to do an update soon.
@@PictureMaria1 thanks :D
Was I the only one sitting here thinking reciprocating saw? 🤔🤔🤔
It’s a Elk Horn fern.
That's about a $600.00 chandelier 😊
....and to think that I had a diamond in the rough...I am so glad I am able to really enjoy her now. She makes me smile every time I see her...and if I'm not mistaken, I think she is always smiling back! She's such a happy girl now with all of her new friends growing alongside of her! :)

No no no no .... This is a elk horn fern and not a strag horn ... Stag horns have much larger co-joint leaves .. Elk horns as this specimen are after their resemblance to an Elks horns ... Just google stag horns ... you will see the difference
