Truly stunning 🤩 you knocked this one out of the park!!

Stunning and so natural Looking

BEAUTIFUL VIDEO!!! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!! I AM GOING TO DO THIS WITH MY STAGHORN AND ELKHORN FERNS.

Exactly what kind of video I was looking for. I have a rescued staghorn basket and will be doing this with some creativity now thanks to you and your plant love videos

So beautiful

Wow! I'm so glad I stumbled on this video. I have been stuck with 4 of the plants in that you added in the chandelier as a newbie plant artist. A plus on the way you deliver is so fun too. Thanks a bunch.

Beautiful! I'd love to see an update. 😀

Spectacular!!!!!!!

I realized that I was holding my breath while the cutting was being done. Got control of myself & watched to the end. Glad I did. Much better for the plants to be separated. & lovely to look at.

Thanks Maria, just the perfect idea for a clump of staghorns that i found on a tree that had fallen down onto a bushtrack in Sydney Aust. Ive also got most of the other plants in my backyard including a couple of old empty hanging baskets. Will be this weekends project and hoping for it to be as spectacular as yours. Thanks 👍🏾

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! ...and you are just too kind to me!!! I am excited to see what you come up with! Make sure you send me a pic. I would love to see it! Also just some tips that I learned...if you are propagated a staghorn make sure that you cut down some of the pad backing. Just as long as it is at least an inch or two thick it should be fine. That will make it easier for you to attach onto the basket...also you have the option of using wire or fish line string. I opted for the fish line string because I didn't want it to be really visible. I didn't add any sphagnum moss to my backing because it was attached to the basket with the coconut liner that is filled with soil. Just as long as I water on a regular basis it should have more than enough needed moisture and water for the plant. I am wishing you the best in your project and I can't wait to see it! HAPPY GROWING! BIG HUGS AND MUCH LOVE TO YOU DEAR FRIEND FROM MELBOURNE!!!!

Orchids for Dummies Thanks and I will try my best to join you...I am with my grandson and he is a handful so I got to keep a watchful eye on him. I would only mount a dendrobium keiki if it has a good amount of roots and at least about 4” long or longer. Remember to water daily to get the roots to establish and mount on the wood quicker. If you have more than one keiki I would mount them together to make a nice clump and when it grows out it will make a better and fuller display! I would also mount the den. with sphagnum moss to retain more water for a longer amount of time. Best of luck!

It's so huge that I can't even pick it up much less even put my arms around it but there is only about 6 or 7 fern leaves still green... I didn't have a 10-10-10 or 20-20-20 fertilizer on hand just flowering miracle grow so I sprayed it down with to that... I figured any nutrients would be great for now... My question is should I separate the good ferns or just leave the ball as it is for now... You can imagine the stress it's already been through since my husband did find it at the local dump... I am going to be totally ecstatic if I am able to save what is left of this staghorn... I can tell this once was a stunning beauty...

I would just leave it as is and give it extra waterings...if it still has green leaves then it still can be restored. They can grow pretty quickly and right over the dead areas...so it will also give it good space to grow. Now that spring is almost here it will have great conditions for it to thrive well. I really believe it will bounce back in no time and you will have yourself an awesome specimen of a plant. Best wishes and good luck! 👍

You could use string but being natural it will rot. You could use wire but you'll see it. Fishing line is the best but if you think it's garbage, just invent something better.

Nice job! I am looking to do the same with an old brass chandelier and chicken wire. I'm not sure what part of the country you're in. We're in GA. Would I need to bring the stag horn fern arrangement inside during the winter?

The Asparagus fern may end up being a mistake, they have very aggressive root systems and tend to choke out the competition. A beautiful display, though.

Thank you and yes that’s always a risk when planting a fern in any community of plants...they just don’t play well with others. Lucky for this arrangement it is separated in the basket and not actually mounted with the stag horn fern nor majority of plants. In time I do plan on changing it out. I will just have to keep a watchful eye over it.

I like the knife that you used to separate the ferns. Do you remember where you purchased it from? 🤔

So after you have secured the fern to the outer basket and it remains there growing, does the root system adhere so much to the wire that it cannot be cut off? I just got my first staghorn fern FINALLY and it is in potting media; however, after acclimation, I want to have it grow the way you are showing here. However, I have NEVER seen the roots of this fern! I need any and all advice girl! Should I allow it in some potting media and put it inside the basket???

I've divided my staghorn fern to the point where I'm going to have to sacrifice some nodes to split it anymore. Its growing around itself and I dont know how to proceed.

How do you take care of it watering? I feel like you need to douse staghorns - do you do that often? Ferns like water too so I suppose :)

I watched this video a year ago. How is your arrangement doing ??

Can you show an update on this ones progress please !

I love this video but I also feel like I'm watching a horror film when she takes the knife to the Staghorn
