Staghorn Fern Kokedama

Platycerium spp. Elkhorn fern

An epiphyte that grows in tropical climates like South East Asia, Australia, and South America, Staghorn Ferns feature leaves resembling the ears of large herbivores like elk. Platycerium is a genus of about 18 ferns that grow on trees. To mimic the plants’ natural environment, Staghorn enthusiasts sometimes display these specimens in hanging baskets or mount them to walls outdoors. We like them displayed in a simple ceramic tray on a table or shelf.

Kokedamas are an ancient form of Japanese Bonsai that dates to around 1600 AD. These living planters are made with moss, soil, twine, and a plant. They have a sunny disposition and are low maintenance.

Kokedama plants come with a Tray for Basic Planter, Grey Patina. They also pair well with our Wrought Iron Planter Stand in Small, sold separately here, or propped up on a Granite Stand or in a Terra Cotta Planter.

Please note that the plants you receive may be smaller and less mature than the ones photographed. Each Staghorn is roughly 5-6" tall from the base of the ball. They will be eager for growth in their new home!
