Platycerium bifurcatum (Staghorn/ Elkhorn Fern) 12cm Pot

The Platycerium is also known as the staghorn or elkhorn fern due to its strange shape. However it is precisely this element of strangeness that also makes the plant so attractive. You can place it anywhere: on a table, in the window, in a robust pot, standing in a corner of a cupboard or hanging from a basket. To limit evaporation and to catch any passing humidity, the leaves are coated in a greyish white felt-like layer. This layer must never be wiped off. The plant has a ‘resting’ period from October to March, and needs less water (but never let it dry out).
