Staghorn fern

My new favorite fern.

Platycerium (genus)- these plants are epiphytic (which means that they grow off of other plants or material- getting what they need from air and water.  

They like light but don't leave them in direct light that will burn or dry out the substrate you are groing them in.  I have mine mounted on wood in my bathroom on a North-East facing window.  I soak the substrate about every 5 days and mist it when I remember.  It is supper handy to lay it in the bathtub so I don't have to worry about the run off water. 

plants, plants, and more plants

My current favorite thing- My plants.  I think I miss the outdoors and keep trying to make the inside just a little bit greener.  My favorite plants right now include:

My orchid that did not bloom last year but gave me so many this year.

My staghorn fern.  I just love having this above my head in the bathtub.

My mother fern- it grows the babies right on the leaves.

My drocera/ sundew carniverous plant.

And last but not least...

My air plants- which I adore and keep finding new ones.

Well, that is it for now.  I'm sure I will be back with my other interests-
