Sure, it's called a fern, but why doesn't it look like a fern? Easy answer, the Staghorn fern is both an air plant and a fern!
The Staghorn fern is one of those plants that remind you of being in the tropics without the bugs and heat. The Staghorn fern has long, tongue-shaped leaves that look as though they're panting for attention, but don't be fooled. Staghorn Ferns, unlike most ferns, do not enjoy being soaking wet, because they're air plants!
Care for your Staghorn Fern as you would an air plant, and provide it indirect light and humidity.
