This plant prefers shade, meaning it grows best in areas with minimal direct sunlight. Ideal locations include corners of rooms away from windows, shaded balconies, or under larger plants or furniture where light is soft and diffused throughout the day.

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Avoid overwatering & ensure pots have drainage holes. Frequency may vary with season and light, roughly once every 5–10 days.

An ideal growing medium for Stag Horn Club Moss in Indian conditions includes 30–40% coco coir or peat moss for moisture retention, 30–40% sphagnum moss or fine orchid bark to mimic its natural forest floor habitat, and 20–30% perlite or pumice to ensure proper aeration and drainage. You can also add a handful of horticultural charcoal to keep the medium fresh and reduce the risk of fungal issues. This loose, airy mix supports healthy rhizome growth and helps maintain the high humidity conditions this plant thrives in.

Feed your Stag Horn Club Moss sparingly, as it is sensitive to over-fertilization. Use a highly diluted balanced liquid fertilizer (at 1/4th strength) once every 4–6 weeks during the active growing season (spring to early autumn). Avoid fertilizing in winter, and always water the plant before feeding to prevent root burn.
