Say hello to Ribbon Dance™- compact, graceful, and totally ready to twirl its way into your heart (and your plant shelf). With long, narrow fronds that look like silver ribbons mid-spin, this staghorn fern brings serious leafjoy® to any space.
Each strap-like frond is dusted with delicate, scale-like hairs, giving it a soft, felted shimmer that’s both beautiful and beneficial—think of it as nature’s own moisturizing mask. It helps your Ribbon Dance™ sip nutrients and hold onto moisture like a spa-day pro. (Pro tip: hands off that fuzz! No wiping, no shining—just admire.)
A natural-born clinger, Ribbon Dance™ is an epiphyte at heart, happiest when hanging out on the surface of things—like the crook of a tree, or, more practically, your favorite wall mount or hanging basket. It thrives in dappled light and prefers to dry out completely between sips, making it low-maintenance but high-impact. Elegant, silvery, and always ready to dance—Ribbon Dance™ is here to steal the show.

Care Information
- Temperature: For optimal performance, keep at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
- Light: Staghorn Ferns thrive in medium to bright indirect light. They do not do well in direct sunlight, especially if it is intense midday sun. Eastern- or western-facing windows are ideal.
- Water: Staghorn Ferns prefer moist, but not soggy soil. Be sure to water when the top inch of soil feels dry, or if you notice the fronds wilting. Ensure good drainage and do not allow your Staghorn to sit in water for extended periods of time, after it has received a good soaking.
- Humidity: Staghorn Ferns prefer medium to high humidity of 30-40% to prevent their edges from turning brown. Cold drafts and forced air can also lead to browning tips and edges. You can supplement their humidity by misting them regularly.
- Growing: Feed your Staghorn Fern once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months.
- Staghorn Ferns prefer to be rootbound, and should only be potted up every couple years. When repotting your Staghorn Fern, use an all-purpose potting mix, with perlite & orchid bark added to ensure good drainage. You can keep your Staghorn Fern looking its best by periodically removing any dried or dead fronds with a clean pair of shears.
