Thanks! I have one almost the same size. Just a suggestion - a reciprocating saw (sort of like a large electric knife) with a 12 inch pruning blade would make the job easier.
Did a huge one today for mum, cut oft the old board and trimmed with 12” reciprocation saw, looks great on new board and got about 10 good sized pups. Fed it with seasol. 👍
I would like to see what you did with the wire at the back of the board. Please can you tell me how you anchored the wire you put through the board and connected it at the back? Thanks
Seems the anchor board you’re using is to thin and will rot out in a few years. I’ve got a big one that was hung with small chains but one of the 3 chains rusted out. I’m thinking of drilling a hole through its center running a good size chain through the hole then attaching a good base plate on the bottom to support the plant!
Great video! I have been gifted one almost as large that needs a serious trim and remount. Wondering who I can share this with so they can do it for me 😂 or at least help ❤️
Great video and thanks! I do have a very important question that was not covered though. If you are mounting a large staghorn as one piece and there are multiples in there (of course right) , which way do we have as the superior part of the finished mount? I know that many staghorns will die if hung upside down but when there are so many and all are facing different directions, what do you do?
Hi, Nice informarion. I also require some help. I have got one huge Stagnorn fern and want to hang it to the wall. I know we cannot meet physically. Is there a way to connect with you.
It's a pity we can't post photos here. I need to do a bit of investigation but I was gifted a 20yr old stag horn... In a pot. Pot is breaking apart and the staghorn is crambed in there. I have no idea how to mount it, trim it etc😢 or help it
Agreed!!! Removing a little bit of the “dead“ is debatable. Removing all the dead and beating the thing up is a whole different story! These ferns live off of the “dead.“
Staghorns are very hardy I see this handling from a lot of professionals when mounting them. The shields only are effective to hold water for the plant when they’re in proximity it makes sense to remove old distant basal fronds if they want to continue keeping the plant healthy and manageable. Promise the plant’s feelings aren’t hurt, unlike yours.
This has really helped me for what I need to do.. thanks so much!,
Me too!
Thank you, this is one of the best videos I've seen for saving my large elkhorns. Now all I need is a twin to help! 😀😀
Glad it was helpful Helen. Good luck finding a twin, we all have one out there apparently.
I like the dog
OK now I know I can saw off the dead part at the back
Great job! It looks wonderful now!!!
thanks for the vid, I'm about to remount my 2 staghorn fern. Thanks for the tips 🙂

Great video, where did you get the timber board from?

Same with mine, was in a pot so they go all directions
Wow! What did it do to the wall?
Lucky it was a brick wall!

I want to That...
They really abused the hell out of those poor ferns twisting it around for the camera. Such a shame. If I was the owner of the fern I’d be upset.
