Good morning everyone, I’m about to purchase one of my dream ferns, the Staghorn Fern. I’ve been doing research on how to take care of it but I would really appreciate your tips on this plant. Thank you and have a good day.

I would say look what scent it likes or type of water. I think you just need to check for mites water it and give it sunlight and it will live, other then that enjoy it and congratulations for getting you dream plant hope it lives a long way

I had a beautiful staghorn for 10+ years…then i moved into a home with hard water. devastating. they are sensitive to minerals and salt, otherwise pretty tough plants.

Thank you Dena, I did not know that! I’ll add my staghorn to the list of plants who get distilled water. ☺️
