A. Find a filtered sun location for your new plant. Many gardeners like to hang them in the shade of a tree. They can also be added to porches or covered patios. Keep the soil moist. Most staghorns like a good soaking once or twice a week during the drier times of the year. Feed the plants with a 20-20-20 or similar fertilizer monthly March through November to encourage green leaves. Q.
