If they seem overcrowded, you may want to remove the Boston ferns. Since a staghorn fern is an epiphyte, not requiring soil to grow in, it seems like it would continue to grow beyond the soil. If there are any staghorn pups, you can remove those and start new staghorn ferns. Here is information that should help:
