Staghorn ferns have been cropping up everywhere, often on plaques, as the focal point of wall gardens. But growing them that way can be challenging. This hanging display is a foolproof alternative. Potting moss and a plastic pot help the plant retain moisture, so you only have to water it once every two weeks or so.

Step 1: Find a terra-cotta pot large enough to fit a wire basket inside.

Step 2: Push the wire basket down into the terra-cotta pot so it's centered.

Step 3: Line the inside of the wire basket with a layer of potting moss.

Step 4: Leaving the fern in the original plastic pot, put it inside the wire basket.

Step 5: Add more potting moss to conceal the plastic pot and cover the soil.
