GENERAL INFORMATION

FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT
- Give your plant a regular fertilizer feeding.
- Using a diluted liquid feed with a 1:1 ratio, you can feed the plant once a month.
LIGHT REQUIREMENT
- They do best in partial shade and bright, indirect light.
- At home or in your garden, display them in an area protected from direct sunlight, as this will harm the plant.
WATER REQUIREMENT
- In terms of the amount and frequency of watering, the Staghorn Fern does not like to be too wet.
- To avoid overwatering at home, allow the growing medium to become dry between waterings, and only water when the fertile green leaves start to droop.
