Platycerium Houseplants

Platycerium, commonly known as Staghorn Fern, is a unique houseplant admired for its antler-like fronds that grow in an impressive, sculptural manner. This epiphytic plant thrives in bright, indirect light and high humidity, making it ideal for bathrooms or kitchens. Water your Platycerium by soaking its base or mounting medium thoroughly and allowing it to dry slightly between waterings. Its distinctive appearance makes it a captivating addition to any indoor space, especially when mounted on a board or grown in a hanging basket.

In addition to its striking form, Platycerium is relatively easy to care for with the right conditions, suitable for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. It prefers temperatures between 18°C and 24°C and benefits from regular misting to maintain humidity. Fertilise every month during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser to support healthy growth. With proper care, Platycerium can enhance your indoor space with its unusual, deer antler-like fronds, adding a touch of natural artistry and elegance to your home or office.
