Mimics Natural Growth:The rugged surface allowsStaghorn Fernsto wrap their shield fronds naturally around the bark, creating a stunning, architectural "3D" display.

Mounting Recommendations:
For Staghorn Ferns:Position the plant with a generous pad ofSphagnum Mossagainst the bark. Secure the shield fronds using clear fishing line or floral wire.
For Orchids:Secure the orchid directly onto the bark or with a thin layer of moss to maintain humidity. The roots will soon "lock" into the deep crevices of the Spanish cork.
