Thanks for showing which brands of fertilizer you use (removes the need to play the guessing game) and I love your choice of mounting board, very fun and unique! A great gift!
Mine is huge about 10 years old. re-potted it once. It sits on stand with two big south-facing windows. so lots of light. Lives cool in the winter. I have a space behind the plant in the pot. I can feel if it is try and topp up with fresh water from our own well. I usually spray the air in the room if it is hot. My hoyas, benjamin fikus, paradise trees and cacti live in the same room. There is no heating in the room at all in the winter.
Nice! Sadly, I have to close down that porch toward the end of November. The plant has grown so much since that video that I'm beginning to wonder what on earth I'll do ....
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this beautiful plant. I was given one of these by a friend who was moving. I’ve since split it into three plants. I grow mine outside in the San Francisco Bay Area, and they’re absolute beasts. Interestingly, mine seem to do best in bright shade.
If you're living, and growing plants, in San Francisco, I'd say you have MANY advantages over us in the Midwest 🤣 Bright shade is probably just about what I'm replicating (or at least trying to) inside. Thanks for the nice comment 😀
snappy outfit and helpful advice. I have two types of stag horn, and wasn't sure it was Ok to fertilize them. Thanks for your secrets :fertilizer tips as well as the pest spray. I'm going to write that one down. Finding out what products feed and keep those giant gorgeous plants healthy is a big part of why I watch plant tube...The other part, there's no stress!
Thank you! I, too, love PlantTube sooo much. I'm going to make a very brief video on "my" pest spray. Look for that one, if you don't already have something you love. Cheers 😀
Hello from Ottumwa. Do you plan on replacing the spagnum moss with fresh like we do repotting plants into fresh soil. I've had mine for almost 3 years and wondered if I need to freshen up the spagnum moss or not. Mine is mounted on a cedar plank, but I love what you did with yours. Mine spends the summers outside protected by direct sun. It's grown well but yours outshines mine by about a foot. I enjoyed your video very much. Thanks and have a great week
I would gauge that like I would a moss pole. If it gets really compacted and just isn’t holding moisture anymore, I’ll remount it. Good to hear from you again!

Thanks for the comment, and cheers from Iowa!
Beautiful plant I have this plant and I will try to take pictures of it in 25 years it grows so much.

I have one too and it’s one of my favorite plants. Yours looks soo great! ❤❤
Ah, thanks so much! I'll just add the Staghorn to the list of a million things I've been wrong about 🤣😅🤣

I want and need to find one.
Hopefully it won't take long! They are defiantly popping up here in eastern Iowa. Cheers
