Mikey I wanted you to see the

[Kittyzee]

plants you sent me and the mountings I put them on.  The first one is hanging by the kitchen window and I have a couple of locust shells stuck to the moss that my granddaughter gave me. 

The second one is the cluster of airplants still hooked to the mother plant.  I have them both wired to the wood and I mist them 3 or 4 times a week.  They seem to be doing really well.  I guess that's why mine died before--they really don't just exist on 'air'!    

Oh, and I stuck a shot in of my staghorn fern:  it's doing really well after I took it outside.  I don't know what will happen to it once I have to bring it in...

They are doing very good KittyZ.

   Looking good

[Kittyzee]

Thanks Esther and Sue!

Very nice!  I should think the staghorn would winter over just fine inside your house as long as it gets light and regular misting.

[Kittyzee]

I sure am gonna try Mikey--the summers here are so humid and my house is soooo dry in the winter since we heat with wood.  I think I'll take it upstairs as far away from the stove and keep it misted.

They all look happy and healthy. 
I love the staghorn fern.............always thought I'd like to try one but afraid it wouldn't make it through winter.  I remember the first one I ever saw was hanging in a dark basement stairway of someone's home.  It was big, it was springtime, and they were waiting for warmer days to take it outside.  Don't they require more light than that?

[Kittyzee]

I would think so...they'll even take a little sun if it's not for long or not too hot.  It likes humidity.  Those brown leaves in the middle are a frond (I forget the name) that are supposed to turn brown like that and the fern uses them to live off of.

Mikey sent you some fine specimens!  They look so healthy.
