The elkhorn fern has two types of fronds. The first at the base do not produce spores and serve to support the plant. While the other fertile fronds are wide, drooping and reminiscent of the horns of an elk. When hung, it is possible to create true works of art with this epiphytic fern. By installing it on a wooden surface, as in its natural habitat, it clings to it and brings a 'Rustic Chalet' touch to your decor.
