How to care for your Staghorn Fern
LIGHT: Medium to bright indirect sunlight. Avoid direct sun.
WATERING: Likes to be slightly moist at all times. Avoid waterlogging but also do not allow to dry out completely.
HUMIDITY: Enjoys humidity but will tolerate average home environments. Avoid drying heat or cold draughts. Humidity can be increased by pebble trays, grouping with other plants or a humidifier.
TEMPERATURE: Enjoys warmth of 16-30°C.
FEEDING: Does not require much feeding. Use half strength liquid feed every 3-4 weeks in spring and summer. Feed less in autumn and winter – and only if plants continue to actively grow.
GROWTH: Average growth rate. Can reach up to 40+cm in height and width.
TOXICITY: Safe for pets and people.
