Please Help! Need to Repot Staghorn

New York, NY

Have a healthy staghorn fern in the same 6" pot it came in over two years ago. I grow indoors and the humidity is not really high, even with a humidifier, so I don't think mounting it would work for me.

Was thinking of a coir basket with orchid sphagnum and medium size orchid charcoal. Would this work?

Any better ideas?

Any help and advice greatly appreciated. It's doing really well and don't want to ruin it now.

I put mine in a wire basket lined with sphagnum moss and a good potting mix years ago. Since that time it has completey covered the wire frame and the wire hook is broke. Dripping wet it probably weighs 40 pounds or more. You shouldn't have any problems going this route.

Here is mine from four years ago.

Wow--looks great! Thank you. Will use potting soil too. No excuse not to repot now.
