Why BMI Is a Crock, in Pictures. So, the Guess The Rotund's Height and Weight game gave me an idea. (Oh, and hey, if you want to see a scatter graph of the results, there's one here now.) I talk a lot about how BMI is bullshit, but we all know talk is cheap.
As suggested in the above links (Thanks! ShellaB, for posting those links -- The first one was especially useful.), you can use monofilament plastic fish line to tie the fern to the basket, if needed. I stuffed my staghorn's basket with a combination of leaf litter, spaghnum, and Spanish Moss.
1 A staghorn fern (Platycerium) is an unusual fern that doesn't require soil. 2  It can be attached to an organic object, like a piece of driftwood, and hung from the wall. 3  It grows rapidly and makes a dramatic presentation. 4  To water a staghorn fern, simply dunk the entire arrangement into a bucket of water several times.ere are a few pointers about their care: 1  Most ferns like an evenly moist soil with regular waterings. 2  Allowing the soil to dry out between waterings stresses these plants. 3  Bushy ferns can be difficult to water. 4  Try using a watering can with a long spout to direct the water to the center of the plant.
