I love Staghorn ferns, and for this past Winter Solstice I decided to try mounting them on scrap wood pieces as gifts.
I ordered eight baby plants on amazon, followed some google tutorials, and threw my first one together. Basically I made a circle of nails, nestled the fern in a pile of Sphagnum moss, and tied it all together using fishing twine. As it grows it will eventually adhere to the wood on it’s own.
I can’t wait till the “antlers” grow on this skull.
I potted up the extra babies and will let them grow larger before mounting them too.
