A new gardening question of the day appears every day of the year on the front page of Almanac.com. Below is the answer to one of the questions from our Gardening Questions and Answers Archive where you can find over 400 more gardening questions (with answers!).
Can I keep a staghorn fern in a four-inch plastic pot?
Staghorn ferns prefer to be planted on a slab of wood. You can find your own slab or buy one at a garden center. Wrap the wood with sphagnum moss and attach the fern to this, making sure the roots are covered. Secure them in place with a thin wire. Keep the fern in the shade and water daily until it takes hold. Feed with 10-10-10 fertilizer or any houseplant food.
