I grow mine in large slatted orchid baskets, so the babies can grow through the slats, but it has to start when it's smaller than that. That one is pretty big. I'd go with putting a large bolt through the middle and hanging it from a chain. I have no idea how to explain how to do it, because I've never done it, just seen it done.

No bolts through the middle, that will damage the fern.

my son made me a large circular cradle out of wood , think he wrapped wire around it to hold it together. Sort of like a huge orchid basket but round.

The metal hanging baskets are lightweight and won't last long.

Plan for sturdiness as they do become very heavy, and chains are needed

to hang it on a strong limb.

Don't forget to throw on your banana peels, the ferns love these.

It has affixed itself to the tiny square pot seen in the photo. I guess I should cut what I can of that pot away before I try and place it in some form of hanger or hanging basket?

No need to remove old pot, just insert plant and pot into new larger vessel and add

new leaves, moss, a bit of soil and water/spray lightly. The plant will grow around

the old pot just fine and old pot will be totally covered in no time.

Beautiful specimen. I use hanging baskets. Replace chains with heavier chains as Plant gets bigger

So if I want to feed banana peels to my staghorn, do I just chop them up and put them down in the top basal frond openings (areas I circled in red)? Thanks!

It's a common practice to put the peels where you've indicated. It attracts insects that help break own the peel. At the same time predators also move in and you get a 'cycle of life' that provides more nutrients for the plants.

I don't even chop up the peels, just string them all over like tinsel on a Xmas tree.

I've read that the insects attracted to the peels deposit miniscule waste products

after eating the peel and provide nature's fertilizer.

Once a years or so I also apply diluted Miracle Gro solution and the fern really takes

off.

My nighbor used to have huge ones hanging from his oaks. They were mounted on a metal rebar frame and hung from a pully system so he could lower them to the ground during cold weather so he could cover them with a blanket. I so hope they went to a good home after he passed.

Mine grow in the crooks of two li

bs of my Oak they will attatch themselves baskits with chains is also good they love filtered shade
