I bought a staghorn fern, and it was planted in some type of soil. I have heard, though, that these ferns are at most supposed to be in spaghnam moss. Should I, then, remove this soil? Also, how much water do these plants need?

Thank you,
Thomas

maybe this will help.

I have seen them grown in a potting meduim and believe was more like orchiad mix type,mostly bark and was in one of those small wood boxes and the roots had grown throughout the box.My cuz in FL has one.maybe I can catch her online& ask about hers.I know from pics hers is on a chunk of bark& the bark is tied to top part of awening pole,but it gets sun.

good luck with your plant.
