In our nursery we have various forms of one plant. Plants are living beings and so they are sometimes different. Variations in color and size are therefore possible.

The pictures shown with our products are sample pictures. These photos give a true picture of what the plant may look like when properly cared for. The specifications are leading for the plant received. Please read the characteristics carefully before ordering.

What are sample images?

We have an extremely large, extensive assortment with thousands of plants. In addition, because specific plants change in shape, color and size on a weekly basis, it is impossible for our small team to capture all specific plants. Each plant grows in a unique way, so it is perfectly normal that there may be differences in color, shape and size.

But because we do want to communicate clearly to you what to expect with a product, we have specifications for each plant that will give you a clear picture of what to expect.

It is therefore rare that you will receive the exact plant shown in the picture. If this is the case, it will be explicitly mentioned in the product description. Our goal is to ensure that you have a pleasant, green shopping experience and that you can shop with us worry-free.

For people who like to browse among the plants, we have a physical store. Check the contact page for opening hours and more info.

Description

De Platycerium Banna #A is a special variation of Platycerium andinum, one of the rarest and most impressive species in the elkhorn fern genus. This selection stands out for its unique leaf shapes and is a valuable addition to any collection of unusual ferns.

Origin

Platycerium andinum is native to the highlands of South America, mainly in Bolivia and Peru. It is the only species of the genus found in this continent. De Banna # A is a selected form that is even more exclusive and circulates almost exclusively among enthusiasts.

Characteristics

De Banna #A is known for its elongated, gracefully drooping fertile leaves that can reach over a meter. In addition, the plant forms the typical round shield leaves with which it attaches itself to its substrate. This selection develops a powerful and elegant silhouette, making it a real eye-catcher.

Care

Light

Place the plant in a light position with plenty of indirect sunlight. Direct midday sun can cause leaf damage.

Temperature

This species thrives in warm conditions between 18 and 28 °C. Avoid cold temperatures below 12 °C.

Substrate

Platyceriums do not grow in ordinary potting soil, but are usually mounted on wood, cork or in an airy fern substrate. Provide a well-drained medium so that the roots never remain wet for long periods of time.

Humidity

A humidity of 60-80% is ideal. In a drier living room, you can use humidification or regular misting.

Nutrition

During the growing period (spring and summer), give a light dose of fern fertilizer or a diluted orchid fertilizer monthly.

Watering.

Always use demineralized water or rainwater. Dip the root ball or mounting part in water briefly once a week and drain well. In warm weather or lots of indirect sunlight, this may be necessary more often.

Flowering

Unlike orchids or flowering houseplants, Platycerium andinum does not bloom in a decorative way. Its appeal is entirely in its imposing leaf shape and growth habit.
