Who Let the Moose Near the Pool?

Giant Staghorn Ferns Steal the Show

In the tropical regions from which they come, Staghorn Ferns (Platycerium)can be found growing on trees. For those of us who don't live in the tropics but are able to grow them in our zones, Staghorns do great mounted on wood slabs or bark, hanging baskets, or attached to trees. If you have a garden wall or poolhouse that gets filtered sunlight, this might be the scene-stealing plant for your pool area. This particular plant is a P. superbum (sounds like the name of a Judd Apatow film).
