How to grow Staghorn fern

Water management for Staghorn fern

Staghorn fern is a plant that likes shade and moisture, so it needs to be watered frequently, especially in the spring when it grows vigorously and in the summer when the weather is relatively dry. In summer, you should try to avoid watering at noon because the weather is hot. At noon, the plants will open their stomata to breathe. Watering at this time will damage the stomata of the plants and is not conducive to their growth. In the winter when the growth is not very vigorous, you can water it less appropriately.

Temperature Control of Staghorn Fern Growth

The optimum temperature for the growth of Staghorn Fern is between 18 and 30 degrees Celsius. It likes shade and humidity, but is not resistant to high temperatures or severe cold. Therefore, it should be placed in a cool place in summer, such as indoors, on a shaded balcony, etc., and in winter it should be cultivated in a warm place. It is best to take some protective measures, such as insulation treatment, covering the potting soil with straw or sawdust, etc.

Light control of Staghorn fern

Giving green plants proper light can make them grow more vigorously, but if the Staghorn fern is exposed to strong light for a long time, it will not only fail to grow more vigorously, but may die. Therefore, it should be properly shaded in the summer, and should be taken out to bask in the sun when it is sunny in the winter.
