We've got some big staghorn ferns in our garden. One big one, in particular, was giving us a challenge as it grew bigger and bigger and we needed to replace the original wire hangers. So we used a large 24-inch SkyPots hanger kit and stabbed the rod through the root ball. We then installed the hardware and flanges as a barb to support the weight of the plant. We weighed the plant in at 47lbs!
Now our staghorn fern has much more room to grow and is safely supported up high. Could this be the best way to hang a staghorn fern? We think so! Better yet, you could even connect another staghorn fern below it using another SkyPots hanger kit.
