staghorn fern
Forked frond epiphyte
A staghorn fern is a tropical fern with distinctive fronds that branch like antlers.
The plants grow on trees or rocks rather than in soil, absorbing moisture and nutrients from the air.
Popular as houseplants, they're typically mounted on boards or hung in baskets: The staghorn fern on the patio wall needs misting.
