_Publicado por Samantha el 2024-08-02_

My staghorn fern is starting to have yellowing leaves. It has been kept in a no light bathroom with occasional exposure to a NW window. Should I leave on the windowsill of my NW window to have it get healthy? Or should I leave it on a shelf with indirect light from the NW window? Any other ideas?

staghorns are epiphytic so they really prefer not to be in soil — this yellowing will be due at least in part to this I expect.

Mara (here on the app) has a knack for mounting these I think (hope!) she’ll catch this one 🤞 she has great advice
