The Journal
Healthy staghorn fern roots are sparse, wiry and brown — a fist-sized root ball is normal. How to judge black roots, root a plant with no roots, and spot root bound.
Frost-damaged staghorn fern? If the growing point is firm and green, it will regrow. Cold vs frost vs freeze damage, what to cut, and when to bring it in.
Staghorn ferns propagate two ways: dividing pups (weeks) or sowing spores (12–18 months). Leaf cuttings and water rooting don't work. Which fits your fern.
