The process involves affixing a unique type of fern, characterized by its antler-like fronds, to a supporting structure. This technique allows the plant to grow epiphytically, mimicking its natural habitat where it attaches to trees or rocks rather than rooting in soil. Successful execution results in a visually striking display and promotes healthy growth for the plant.
Adopting this method for cultivating these ferns offers several advantages. It promotes proper air circulation around the plant’s base, reducing the risk of rot. Furthermore, it replicates the fern’s natural growing conditions, leading to enhanced vigor and frond development. Historically, this method has been employed by horticulturalists to showcase the fern’s unique aesthetic and biological characteristics.
