back to a better condition?
Thanks

They'd love you if you could get some soil straight from the woods. That's
what I do, including the first layer minus the limbs and twigs. It's the
best soil for them.

Love,
Denise

all my ferns and they thrive inside all year. I have had Stags for
years and as long as they get good light, a high nitrogen fertilizer
will help them to thrive. :-) Jane

Hola- My staghorn fern is now forteen years old! It was planted in a wire
hanging basket- lined with moss- 14 inch basket- and I planted it using
orquid bark mix; well, it has grown so big and heavy that broke the wires
holding it! It now sits on a bench in the greenhouse. I would like to split
it into various plants, but I do not know how! Do you?
Thank you
