"My staghorn fern is dropping leaves. Help!"

Staghorn ferns lovvvvvve humidity. Even if you mist it regularly, most of our homes don't have enough humidity due to air conditioning and heat. Create a humidity tray to put under it. What's a humidity tray, you ask? Essentially, your plants sit in a tray or saucer that is filled with rocks, clay pebbles, or marbles, and water stays in the tray, filled just below the medium level. As the water evaporates from the tray, it creates humidity around your plants. Voila!
