Humidity requirements:

The plants are not fuzzy about high or low humitidy areas. As mentioned earlier - they are extremely tough plants so this is one plant that you don't need to mist...  Ever...

Fertilizing:

Food is always important for any growing plant. During spring and summer fertilize when you water them. The best recommended fertlizer used by Staghorn and Pitcher is Grobest

Soil:

When repotting - you must ensure that the mix is very light and fluffy and very very draining - so incorporate a lot of coir husks, coir fibre and perlite.

Try and only use a premium potting mix such as the Gromor Potting Soil.
