BlissfulGarden, I'm glad if anything I said helped you out. Isn't it great to see that first BOP flower? You'll get more next year & even more the year after that. Be careful with fertilizer. Don't give it anything with high nitrogen, or anything else too frequently. I use Peters Professional Super Blossom Booster Plant Food, 10-50-10, in a weak solution about once a month.

I was at the City Park Botanical gardens about a month ago for the garden show. I was admiring all the staghorn ferms. Some are really immense. I may have seen your donated one & not realized it. What does the plaque say, so I can look for it the next time I'm there.

I have a nice staghorn, but after two years it doesn't seem to be growing very much. Are you doing anything special with yours? How much sunlight? Mine is in bright light, with no direct sunlight. I don't fertilizer, but give it a spray of water about once a week during hot weather.
