Complete Care Guide
- Bright, indirect light promotes healthy antler frond development and robust growth
- East or north-facing locations provide ideal growing conditions
- Can tolerate some filtered morning sunlight
- Avoid direct afternoon sunlight which can scorch the fronds
- Perfect for bright bathrooms and naturally lit indoor walls
- Soak the mounting medium thoroughly, then allow to drain - mimics natural rainfall
- Water by soaking or misting the shield fronds and mounting material
- Typically water 1-2 times per week depending on humidity and mounting medium
- Never water the center of shield fronds - this can cause rot
- Use filtered or rainwater when possible to prevent mineral buildup
- Moderate to high humidity: 50-70% for optimal frond development and health
- Temperature range: 60-80°F (15-27°C) with good air circulation
- Benefits from good air movement around the plant
- Thrives in naturally humid bathrooms and kitchens
- Avoid stagnant air which can lead to fungal problems
- Mount on sphagnum moss, tree fern fiber, or cork bark for natural epiphytic growing
- Secure with fishing line or soft ties until shield fronds attach naturally
- Feed monthly by misting with very diluted liquid fertilizer
- Can also be grown in hanging baskets with well-draining orchid mix
- Never plant in regular potting soil - needs excellent drainage and aeration
- Excellent air purifier with large frond surface area for toxin removal
- Never cut or remove shield fronds - they protect the plant and collect nutrients
- Only trim damaged or completely brown fertile fronds at the base
- Dust fronds gently with soft brush or cloth to maintain their health
- Propagates through spores or by separating pups that develop at the base
