Advice WantedStaghorn fern help?
My brother sent me a young staghorn fern. It's too cold where I live to have it outside, so it's in my bathroom by the window. I mounted it on a cedar board with some potting soil behind it and sphagnum moss around it, secured with fishing line.
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be doing well. I try to mist it every day and sometimes (maybe once a month) I'll soak it in the sink. It has three fronds and one is currently turning brown. I don't see new growth.
I'm not sure if I'm watering it too little or too much, or if I put too much moss around it or not enough soil behind it.
Does anyone have advice? I really don't want it to die.
Since potty training (yay) my 3yo has discovered a whole new avenue of methods to stall bedtime. On one hand I don't want to send a 3yo to bed with a full baldder, on the other hand "you've gone potty 3 times in the last 10 minutes." My oldest did the same. But we're done with diapers so I'll take it.
