HOW TO MOUNT STAGHORN FERNS AND OTHER EPIPHIC FERNS

First get or build your boxes or

boards and find sutible fabric or

string to attach your plant with.

I use fishing line to tie ferns

to boards and plastic netting

to cover the boxes

In a box you can put a some planting mix

something light with perilite and orchid

bark works well. Then use spagnum moss on top of the mix and make

a hole for your plant.

Place you plant in the center or a little below center and add moss to hold

planting mix and plant in place.  Cut a hole in your netting material to fit

over the plant and nail or staple in place. Don't worry if your hole is a

little large use some fishing line back and forth to secure you plant.

On board mounts I use fishing line tied to

sheilds of the fern careful not to damage

the bud. This holds the fern and moss in place.
