I bought mine a couple of months ago with the intent of hanging it outside on my porch. However, I didn't have a sturdy hanger for it, and ended up ousting a strugling spider plant out of its spot in the kitchen, and it hasn't moved since! I pull it down once a week or so to water it, and mostly leave it alone. The plant hangs in a corner right between two windows, and only gets a little bit of sun during the day. Otherwise, it is just very bright light.

I water it by soaking it in a pot of water in the sink, then letting it drip-dry before putting it back. My faveorite thing about the way this Staghorn was planted, is that there are lots of pups growing out of the sides of the moss! In a year or so, you won't be able to see the moss at all.
