“Staghorn Wellinky Silver ” appears to be a specific name for a type of Staghorn Fern, possibly a combination of common names or a typo. The name likely refers to the Platycerium veitchii or “French Silver Staghorn Fern,” which is known for its silvery-blue, finger-like fronds.
The care for this plant is similar to other Staghorn Ferns (Platycerium species), but with a few key distinctions, especially regarding its “silver” appearance. The silvery look comes from tiny, star-shaped hairs that help the plant conserve moisture and protect it from insects. It is important not to wipe or handle these hairs excessively, as it can damage them.
Here’s a breakdown of the care for a Staghorn Fern, including the “silver” variety :
Light:
- Staghorn ferns need bright, indirect or dappled sunlight.
- Direct, harsh sun can scorch the fronds.
- A spot near a window that gets filtered light is ideal.
Water:
- These are epiphytic plants, meaning they grow on other plants or surfaces in their natural habitat. Their root systems are smaller and prone to rot if overwatered.
- Water thoroughly, but allow the base of the plant to dry out between waterings.
- A good watering method is to soak the entire plant (if it’s mounted on a board or in a basket) in a sink or bucket of water for 10-20 minutes, then let it drip dry before re-hanging.
- Water about once a week in the summer and every 2-3 weeks in the winter, but adjust based on your home’s temperature and humidity.
- Wilting fronds or brown tips can be a sign of underwatering. Black or brown spots at the base are often a sign of overwatering.
Humidity:
- Staghorn ferns are native to tropical environments and love humidity.
- You can increase humidity by:
- Placing the plant in a naturally humid room like a bathroom or kitchen.
- Using a humidifier nearby.
- Misting the plant periodically.
Temperature:
- They thrive in average room temperatures, generally between 50°F and 100°F (10°C to 38°C).
- Avoid placing them in drafty areas or where they will experience sudden temperature changes.
Fertilizer:
- You don’t need to fertilize a new plant for the first 6-12 months.
- During the growing season (spring and summer), you can fertilize monthly with a water-soluble fertilizer.
- Reduce or stop fertilizing in the fall and winter.
Other Important Tips:
- Staghorn ferns have two types of fronds:
- Antler fronds: The long, green, and often lobed fronds that give the plant its name.
- Shield fronds: The round, flat, brown fronds at the base of the plant. These are normal and protect the root system. Do not remove them, even when they turn brown and dry up.
- The silvery or fuzzy coating on the fronds should not be wiped off. This is a natural protective layer.
- Staghorn ferns are often mounted on boards or grown in hanging baskets to mimic their natural growth habit.
