I have some young bifurcatum's that seem to be growing very well, a inch a week on new growth. I was given some Miracle-Gro Orchid plant food mist. It is 0.02-0.02-0.02. Would this be safe to use on my Stag horns? These are indoors, 65-75*F and 55%H +/- 10%.

Do these normally have this kind of growth on young plants? All are mounted using sphagnum moss and a small amount of commercial Orchid mix They sure seem to use a lot of water, dry in 2 or 3 days after a good soak.

On this plant the two shield fronds and one antler frond closest to the lens is all new growth in the past month. since I mounted it to the board.
