{"product_id":"staghorn-fern","title":"Staghorn Fern","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Staghorn Fern (\u003cem\u003ePlatycerium bifurcatum\u003c\/em\u003e) is one of the plant kingdom's most dramatic epiphytes — its forked, antler-like fronds emerge with wild, organic confidence, evoking the lush canopy floors of tropical rainforests. Mounted on a board or displayed in a basket, it transforms any wall or surface into a living installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike most houseplants, the Staghorn anchors itself to surfaces rather than soil, drawing moisture and nutrients through its fronds.
