New to forum and orchids

[vickyrowe]

Hi - I"m new to this forum. Two weeks ago I purchased a Staghorn fern. I had no idea how to take care of it - I just love how it looks. It is in "soil" in a small pot. The leaves are drooping down the side - that's how they looked when I bought it. Now they are turning brown. I have looked on line and it seems these ferns like to be outside in a tree or hanging basket. Also, it seems they don't like soil. I"m confused since I bought it like this from a nursery. Is there a way to keep this fern on my cocktail table (diffused light) and keep it healthy?
