The deer antler fern is an epiphytic ornamental fern, a rare species, with its spore leaves uniquely shaped like the antlers of a deer. It thrives in warm, shady, and humid environments, is sensitive to direct strong sunlight, prefers scattered light, and grows best in loose, decomposed leaf soil. Attaching the deer antler fern to ancient dead wood or decorating it in a hanging pot can add a touch of natural beauty to studies, guest rooms, and windowsills.
