Water when the moss is fully dry to the touch.
A simple way to check is by weight. A dry plant will feel noticeably lighter.
In general, watering may be needed every few days in warm and dry conditions, and less often in cooler or more humid environments.
Staghorn ferns prefer to dry slightly between watering rather than staying constantly wet.
Most staghorn ferns do best in bright, indirect light.
Some varieties can tolerate brighter conditions, while others perform better in softer or lower light. Avoid strong direct sunlight, especially during midday, as it may damage the fronds.
Observe how your plant responds and adjust the light accordingly.
Unbox the plant as soon as possible and check its condition.
Place it in a well ventilated area with gentle light, then gradually move it into brighter conditions as it adapts to your environment.
If the moss is still moist, allow the plant to settle before watering.
Avoid immediate changes such as repotting or remounting. Give the plant a few days to adjust before making any major changes.
