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.
The plants have two types of leaves, one of which resembles the horns of a large herbivore. The plants grow outdoors in warm season locations and indoors elsewhere. Mounted or in a basket is how to grow a staghorn fern, because they are epiphytic, growing in trees generally.Staghorn fern care relies on careful light, temperature and moisture monitoring.utdoor plants should be located in partial shade or low light conditions for the best growth, while indoor plants need bright indirect light. Staghorn ferns are usually grown mounted on a piece of wood or in a basket. They will need a little mound of peat, compost or other organic matter piled up under the plant.
