Finally got her rehung. #platycerium #platyceriumbifucatum #platycerium-bifucatum #elkhornfern #elkhorn #fern #southerncalifornia 19 August 2022

Woweeee! 💘😍

Very showy!👌

She has actually suffered some from being on the ground and hopefully will put out some new healthy leaves now. She is a favorite of mine. @ShelleySnyder @bobbyball

Hopefully all will be fine! 💘😍

Well, it finally fell. This #elkhorn #fern is so heavy it broke the thick wire holding it up. I will be getting some help to lift this heavy fern and rehang it this week. #platycerium #platycerium-bifucatum #southerncalifornia 17 July 2022

Oh 😲

That must be really really heavy! 💘😍

Most folks who have them here in Florida hang them with chains 😉

I know. Crazy heavy. I am afraid the chains will rust fast @treefrog44 . I think I might have to rethink my view. I would love to know the weight. @juliesgarden @ShelleySnyder

This poor fern has had a lack of water, but it still going. But, WHAT IS HOLDING IT UP? The wire I use to hold it has broken, but it remains in place. Maybe it has attached itself to the wall. #platyceriumbifucatum #elkhornfern #fern #hanging #southerncalifornia 30 April 2022

Hey you!!!! Looks like your really getting a great variety of plants/cactus etc.. great to see. I love that elk fern. I had a Xanadu which looks a lot like yours. Beautiful fern. Looks like a tuff one!!!😊💕

Yup! It took it's own roots into it's own hands and attached to your wall! 😂💘😍

Terri, I am refunding them again. It has been so neglected it has to be tough. 💗 @terrimclaughlin

I think you are right Shelley. She had to. She wasn't getting any help from me. 😂 @ShelleySnyder

She has put on an all new layer of #growth. #fern #elkhorn 15 June 2015

Wow 😲

She is back up and I put some crucifix orchids in the top just for the fun of it. Am i correct that this is an Elkhorn, not a Staghorn? #fern #elkhornfern #elkhorn

Oh my word this so so realistic! They're to die for! 😍😍😍 Fantastic!

Good to see she is not damaged 😊

@lovestogarden elkhorn

Very nice....

She’s huge! Looks great back on the fence!

@lovestogarden. . awesomesauce!

Thank you so much! @demeterstouch @errolly @hannahchristine @nancyanne @hazec @kimguy

@cyndi ❤👏👏😂

@lovestogarden you welcome

This is so cool! it looks great there. I've got too many elkhorns, the kind hunters hang on walls, ugh! 😂😂👍

Laura, I say hang some Elkhorn ferns from them! Or, maybe Tillandsia! 😊 @columbiariver

She fell! The extreme winds blew down this giant beast. I have to wait until I get help to lift her. 💪

Ahh

I do hope not to many wounds....

Oh no. 😣😖😤😠

@lovestogarden oh my I hope she makes it through!!🤞🤞🤞💘😍

Wow, that's a big one. What is it attached to? @lovestogarden

I righted her this morning as she was very dry, so not too heavy for me💪. She is thankfully just fine. 😱👏❤. @ofthought @nancyanne @purplebird @ShelleySnyder @tinaaune @cyndi

@tinaaune she is attached to a board with a hole in it. I now have thick-coated electrical wire used to hang her.

Glad to hear she is ok...👍

@lovestogarden wanderwoman!!!💪💪💪👏👏👏👏👌👍👍👍

Beautiful! I got one of these as a gift, but no idea how to take care of them 😕 It's inside as a houseplant since we live in PA, but it's been super hot here all summer so far... would it rather be outside, maybe? How often do you water yours? It looks wonderful 😁

@aes239 I got this from my mother... she didn't want it anymore. It hangs getting only morning sun and the rest of the time it is shaded. I shoot it with the hose once a week if I can, or more if really hot/dry or forget it for a while. They like humidity. Try it....the leaves will tell you if it is unhappy. They come back pretty nicely if they are unhappy for a bit.

Thank you so much for the tips! 😀 Mine probably wants more humidity... The leaves are much lighter green & have a stiffer, almost papery feeling... Hopefully I can make it feel better now, with your advice! 😊

I hope it likes the adventure!
