I should have been more clear regarding how I water the staghorn in a pot/basket.
I only water when the soil, feels dry 1'" down. During spring so far it seems they need water about once a week, maybe less. Winter is even less frequent, every couple of weeks. And I add the water soluble fertilizer once a month, only during growing season.
When the superbum was in the plastic pot from the nursery, the longest between watering was 2 months! Weird to me that a larger fern would consume less water than a bifurcatum, but the superbum has consistently been is a slow drinker, even in the basket.
Best thing to start with is correct ID of your plant, because different types of staghorn prefer different types of care.
