My father had 119 staghorn ferns in his yard. He did exactly what this man is doing by wiring them on the moss and the wood. He started with a few, then as they grew, he cut off the "pups" as he called them and started more. He hung a pipe between trees, then attached a large piece of chain link fencing hanging down. He then hung the ferns on either side of the fence. He had several staghorn fences around the property under the trees.
Best tutorial for Stags I've ever seen. thank you.
You’ve made this really easy to follow. I’ve read and watched a number of methods. Some of the methods require screws and antique burlap..... yours is by far the easiest to follow and it took you minutes while giving a detailed explanation.
Byron is like the Bob Ross of planty crafts...
Thanks for doing this video! I just ordered a baby staghorn and ill be mounting it for my husband's birthday!
Hope he enjoys it! :)
Excellent tutorial and explanation. So easy to understand. Thank you so much. Your tutorial delivery is really excellent. Your voice, articulateness, speed, info provided relevant and engaging, video editing and video pacing A+... I'm in awe. I've seen lots of tutorials but this guy is a natural teacher. Need to watch more of his videos 👍👍👍 thank you sir.
Wow - thanks for the wonderful feedback. Glad to hear you're enjoying our videos - more on the way! :)
Thank you! This was the best tutorial I've seen on mounting a Staghorn. I have 3, with the wooden plaques and the Sphagnum...I am ready and now I can do this! I am extremely excited about finally getting them mounted. This was fantastic!
Very absorbing lecture to understand and a simple demonstration to follow. Thanks for sharing this staghorn mounting sir . Viewing from Mindanao ,Philippines .
Thank you! Plan and simple. I have one I want to mount on driftwood. We had several many years ago when married. But I needed a brush up. Yours has been the best I've seen so far. Keep it simple!!!
You have the best plant videos for us home indoor outdoor gardeners! Thank you for taking the time to share!
Best presentation. To the point and very clear. Thank you
Great tutorial. I was given a Platycerum with 12 fronds in a hanging basket of sorts, and wanted to give it a more natural existence. I watched your “How to Divide and Mount…” tutorial and separated it into its 12 separate components. Each was then attached with twine around the circumference of our oak tree here in FL. I hope to see natural attachment in 6-12 months!
Thank you for your succinct “how to” videos!
Oh yeah, this is really a very clear explanation. Thanks!
Thank you! I have two staghorns to mount and this is the first time I have seen it demonstrated. I love Logee's.
beautiful work Mr. Martin! thank you for teaching us about Staghorn plants!
My father has two and they are an interesting plant. Very informative video. On a side note i want to say you guys sell great plants and trees. I bought a purple guava tree from Logees over a year ago and it's growing beautifully. I have eaten three fruits from the tree and were delicious. Thanks.
amazing, well explained and very well demonstrated! unlike other videos that you just listen and imagine how to do it because they just talk and talk and pretend to be cute..at the end of the day you got nothing LOL
This was so informative! I can't wait to start this project - thank you.
Thank you so much!! This video helped me with my Staghorn Fern!
Thank you!! This is just what I was looking for! My local nursery just got several of these in and I've been dying to pick them up, this video might just make me go and grab one.... or all five!!
Emily curious what price they are selling them for...
Beautifully explained...thanks so much for this very helpful video
New Subscriber. Very nice video, thank you for sharing. I've wanted to do this and have watched several videos on how to plant them, yours is at the Top for good usable information.
Thank you so, so much for this tutorial!
Great tutorial…. I am just starting out and have the two stag horn ferns like u r showing….. I hope to do them justice…. 🙏
Nice video to watch and follow. Great job. Cheers!
Thank you i just mounted mine!! so so helpful
Excellent instructions, thank you!
Always so helpful Byron and well explained! I recently bought a 4” and was wondering if I should transfer to a plaque or a fix directly to my LA Bald Cypress!! Thanks again for your time and expertise!
Thanks, best clip so far!

I asked for and received a mounted staghorn for Christmas that is hanging in the bathroom next to a huge window. Once it warms up this spring it will hang on the front porch. I have a different kind that I will probably mount also.
Thanks...very informative....
yay. i just got a staghorn. and i saw it was in soil. and i wanted to mount it. (i had no idea how tho) thanks for making this vid, it was really helpful :D
He is so firm/rough aka the exact opposite of tentative and delicate me while dealing with my houseplants haha.
Made me anxious af but also let’s me know I can loosen up a bit.
❤From Norway!
great video - where can i find the mounting boards? I don't have the ability to make them.
So excited to do this. I'd like to use driftwood, I wonder if that would work?
Hi. I have Staghorn fern in 4inch pot. and some leaf got brown tips. What should I do? Can I keep the brown leaf on or should I cut them off?
Thank you
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank tou detailed vedio
See our platycerium in Sri Lanka .🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Awesome vid!
I have a question.,
i have mine in a hanging basket filled with coco fiber and sphagnum
it grew from a smal one in to several plants and it is about 2 meter wide.
I want to mount it on a tree stump
or would it be better to start with a little one and leave my older one in it s basket?
would it survive the change?
They can be transplanted or divided and do fine. I’d probably wait until spring so they have the whole season to recover and that depends on how hard they are divided.
Thank you,,,❤️❤️❤️
You are so welcome
If I want to grow one on a palm tree, will fishing line damage the tree?
Would using a grow light work for these!?
Great video--thank you! I have a staghorn in a square hanging basket with many sterile fronds. I'd like to hang it in the section of my hickory at the split, which is probably 8 feet from the base of the tree. Would it hurt my tree if I attached directly to it...meaning just set the basket in the split and tie it on? What's the best way to do it?
To better assist you, could you share a photo of your plant to info@logees.com? We can forward it straight to Byron for his assistance :)
Thanks for such an informative video! I have a bifurcatum of similar size, which also looks like it's made up of multiple plants. Would it be risky to divide such a young plant? It'd be great to have a few small plants to mount, but I wouldnt want to risk killing it. Any advice would be much appreciated!
As long as there is a sterile frond (the shield) and a fertile frond (the staghorn’ s leaf) it can be done. Better to do it in spring or summer when they are actively growing.
Thanks for the advice! I managed to split it into 2 plants, both with sterile and fertile fronds. However, two more sets of fertile fronds separated from the root ball as well and I'm waiting to see if they'll continue growing on their own and produce a sterile frond. Fingers crossed!
Can you use the same technique for a Bird’s Nest fern?
Yes. This technique can also be used for the bird nest fern.
I threw mine in a shallow clay pot with nothing and it grows wild. It literally swallow my little clay pot.
Hello! Thanks for the great video and advice. I just got a potted staghorn that already has a fairly substantial sterile frond covering the soil, and I'd like to mount it on a board. Is it okay to cover it with the moss as demonstrated in the video? Or should I leave it out in the open and try to support the rest of the plant with the moss?
You can cover it as demonstrated in the video :)
Im looking to buy one ty
