Kim, Thank you so much for asking for this forum!
I loved that fan cage that you devised for your staghorn fern, what a clever idea! In case some folks missed it, will you post a photo of it here on the thread? I liked that idea so much that I'm definitely planning on making one. I stopped by our other house (that we are getting ready to sell) to check my husbands progress on cleaning out the garage at the back of the house and he had an old, really dirty and ugly looking going while he was working. It's just one of those cheapy little oscillating type fans but I'm going to confiscate it before it gets put in the trash. I'll try to clean it up and then will probably paint it black and plant a little staghorn in it.
