Mounted on natural cork bark, this handcrafted Staghorn Fern Mounted Wall Plant transforms a fascinating tropical fern into a striking piece of living wall art. With its bold form and architectural growth habit, it creates an eye-catching focal point while bringing the beauty of nature to vertical spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn nature, Staghorn Ferns are epiphytes, meaning they grow attached to trees in tropical rainforests rather than rooted in the ground. Their roots anchor to bark and absorb moisture and nutrients from the surrounding environment. Mounting plants to cork bark mimics this natural growth habit while showcasing the plant in a way that feels both artistic and true to nature. Cork bark is prized for its beautiful texture, lightweight nature, and exceptional durability. Naturally resistant to rot and decay, it performs well in humid environments and can withstand years of watering without breaking down. Its antimicrobial properties also help create a healthy mounting surface, making cork bark one of the most trusted materials for displaying epiphytic plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOften considered the original mounted plant, Staghorn Ferns have been displayed on boards, plaques, and bark for generations. Unlike traditional ferns, they produce two distinct types of fronds: shield fronds that protect the root system and fertile antler fronds that extend outward as the plant matures. Their unique growth habit and natural tendency to grow on trees have made them one of the most beloved plants for living wall décor, botanical wall art, and mounted plant displays. As the fern matures, it becomes increasingly dramatic and sculptural, creating an ever-evolving piece of living art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBright, indirect light\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTolerates gentle morning sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvoid prolonged harsh afternoon sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrighter conditions encourage faster growth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater when the moss begins to feel light and dry\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove from the wall and either soak the moss for 10–15 minutes or run water over the moss in a sink or shower until it becomes fully saturated\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow excess water to drain before rehanging\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not allow the moss to remain soggy for extended periods\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrefers moderate to high humidity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenefits from increased humidity during winter months and in dry indoor environments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdaptable to average household humidity when watered consistently\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mounted plant pictured measures approximately 18\" H × 9.5\" W\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFronds will continue to grow and develop over time\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece of cork bark is naturally unique, so the size, shape, and overall appearance of your mounted plant will vary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour piece will be similar in scale and style to the one shown, but no two are exactly alike\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural variations in cork bark, plant growth, and frond shape are part of what makes each mounted wall plant one of a kind\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach mounted plant is handcrafted using natural cork bark and living plants, making every piece truly one of a kind.
