# First staghorn fern! How did I do? Any advice on how to water them…

_Posted by BritneyMC on 2025-08-01_

First staghorn fern! How did I do? Any advice on how to water them once mounded? I rigged up this setup with a plant frame and L hook so I can easy take it off for watering and keep moisture away from the wall. She has a bit of her soil, spagnum moss, and some sheet moss to keep everything together. The moisture split the bottom of the wood but I kind of like it that way 😅🌿

Nice Kokedama! You’re gonna wanna drown it for 10-20 then make sure you let her drain completely

Thank you!

You can also use capillary action and have some string or a strip of a towel with one side on the staghorn and one in a cup of water fixed to the L hook. It just keeps the moss moist and is less of a hassle!

Oh I like that idea! Thanks!
