Greetings from Kenya!
The way the old shields hug the inside of the pipe/pot and create the perfect container for fresh soil/compost while the newer shields hide the opening in the pipe is brilliant!
I learned more about staghorn ferns and how to care for and propagate them in this video then I've learned in fifteen years gardening.
Thank you for your lovely comment and thanks for following our channel and the support. Yes the pipes are so practical

So instructional!!! Thank you.
Thank you Adda for your comments and for following our channel.
This is wonderful
Thx you both
Thank you for your lovely comment will share it with Michael and thank you for following my channel.
I found this video to be absolutely helpful! I have been a plant collector for years and finally got a bifurcadum(sorry for the bad spelling) I mist mine since they are aroids but keep it in soil for now. Eventually, I would like to mount it but I am afraid lol. I see that thick inner sponge of the mother which holds the water for it and provides a base for all the shields to attach. My question is, does the plant need to be a certain size or age before we propagate or can we do this as soon as we see pups? I would absolutely adore one of Michael's staghorns!!! However, I am in the states and do not know if this poses a problem.
Hi Megan, thank you for your lovely comment and for following my channel. With the Staghorn, I would wait until the pups are about 4-5 inches wide. Good luck and happy gardening.
You're in Nairobi!!??! ❤️ it! Go girl
Yes I live in Nairobi, Kenya.
Thank you.
How about the spores? Is there any update on them? :) Nice video and great tips 💪💪
Hi Michel, the spores take a long time. I have to try again as I was not patient enough, will update on progress.
@redsoilgardener is there a spore update???
nice video. can I just ask, using the (recyclable) plastic container, does it have some holes on the bottom cover or just none at all? thank you :)
Hi Nicko, thanks for asking. Our veg and meat are usually packed in these plastic containers. So what i do is collect them and make hole, by heating a metal skewer and then make incision at the base. The great thing is some come with lids attached, so for quick propagation one can close the lids to create a greenhouse effect.
Great show!
I have learnt so much.
Alice, I have only recently subscribed to your channel (last two days) and see that this episode was shot 9 months ago. Can I still get your reference for a discount on a staghorn from Michael?
Hi Bryan, thank you for following our channel. Do contact Michael and mention Redsoil Gardener and I am surhe will give you a discount.
@@redsoilgardenerthank you! 👍🏿
In minute 15, he puts the spores into soil in a black pot. What type of soil did he use?? Thank you
Hi, at 15 minutes, that medium is coco peat. It is obtained from Coconut husks that is ground down to different textures. Many gardeners in Kenya use it as a growing medium for seedlings because it allows easier root penetration it's has a great water holding capacity.
New problem. Sore right foot a year ago. I get cortisone every 4 months but that isn’t.t enough. Help!
Foot hurts. Help
Sorry to hear that, pray for quick recovery.
HI ALICE,
HOW CAN I BUY FROM MICHAEL'S NURSERY? I AM INTERESTED IN PURCHASING THE ELEPHANT EAR FERN AND THE ELKHORN FERN. I LIVE IN THE USA. THANK YOU
I believe there are regulations about exporting plants with regards to pest control etc. As far as I know he does not export. However, these ferns are popular and I am sure you could find them online. Check out the online plant shops that specialise on imports for Indonesia, etc.
@@redsoilgardener THANK YOU FOR REPLYING BACK. I JUST WANTED TO SUPPORT MICHAEL'S NURSERY. ENJOYING YOUR VIDEOS
you doing so wonderful job, but can you help me with advise, my all leaves about 10 or 12 were coming from the same spot and I found them yesterday on the floor, will they survive? There are two mother leaves around them, very small and I believe no roots. What do I do? Thank you.
Generally Staghorns lose their leaves as they grow but not in such large numbers. Are you overwatering or over misting the plant? Because though they are rain forest plants they need to go through periods of drying out.If there are two small leaves and no root, I think you may need to repot your plant.
@@redsoilgardener I water it once a week, and this happened the next day after watering...Thank you
Is fishing line ok to use to secure pups to wood?
Hi I would actually go for a natural twine. I think Michael used sisal twine. My fear is fishing line could cut into the pup.
Can the staghorn grow from the leaf?
Hi Annette, I am not aware of leaf propagation. The three methods is through the spores on the underside of the leaf. Spores can be harvested and grown. Division of the plant as long as you have enough fronds and rooting in each section. Lastly, through harvesting the "pups'.
I find harvesting the "pups" is easier and one gets a better success rate.
OK I'll try one or all of these ways. Thank you! Love your subscription.
These are Elkhorns in video, Not Staghorns. There is a big difference in the two types of plants.
Thanks for sharing.
