sold out

Platycerium grande

An incredible specimen! The Giant Staghorn Fern, Platycerium grande, is an epiphyte that grows on tree branches, fallen logs, stones and such. The giant green fronds carry out photosynthesis, while the brown fronds near the base traps falling debris such as dead spiders and insects, and plant material. From this trapped debris, the fern obtains minerals and other nutrients, since it doesn´t grow in soil.

  • LIGHT: Bright indirect light.

  • WATER: While the plant is actively growing, let the top half of soil dry out between watering. When the plant is resting, let the soil get more dry between watering. Enjoys a nice mist or shower.

  • Mounting: If you choose to mount your grande Staghorn, make a mixture of very coarse peat moss and sphagnum moss. Wrap the root mass to the moss to create a bundle. Tie the bundle to the attachment using strong cotton thread. Keep both moss and roots moist at all times until the plant has attached itself to the attachment.
