We have recently moved into a villa on the central coast of NSW that has a
large staghorn, almost six feet across and much admired. However the large
leaves, or are they called fonds, at the top two or three layers are
browning at the tips. The very top layer is all brown. The previous owner
has been feeding it cut up banana leaves and watering about once a week in
the summer, less in the cooler seasons.
Has anyone got an answer for this browning?
I have read online that a more modern way of feeding staghorns is to use a
water soluble fertiliser. Any thought on this please?
Any help would be appreciated.
