An irrigation schedule is dependent upon the time of year. Irrigate once a week when the weather is hot and dry; every second or third week in wetter, colder weather. An easy method to ensure saturation of the moss medium is to dip the plant into a sink or tub of water, then remove, drain and replace to its chosen location. The staghorn fern can also be hand irrigated by pouring water into the medium behind the main plant until it runs through.
If the plant is not allowed to dry out between watering, black spots may appear on the antler leaves. This is black spot fungus. If this condition appears, withhold watering until the moss medium dries out completely. If needed, a common-use spray fungicide can be applied to the leaves.
