Fertilizer
Fertilizing your staghorn fern will promote vigorous growth, especailly in younger plants
Feed your staghorn fern monthly during periods of active grown (spring and summer). Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer (ratio of 1:1:1). During periods of dormancy (fall and winter), reduce fertilizing to every other month.
