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

The Platycerium holttumii is a striking and rare fern species known for its graceful, antler-like leaves and the almost sculptural appearance it brings to any space. Its unique growth habit and layered leaf formation make this species a real eye-catcher for lovers of unusual botanical forms.

Origin

This particular epiphyte is native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, where it grows high up against tree trunks. The species belongs to the genus Platycerium, better known as antler or staghorn fern, and is named after botanist Richard Holttum.

Characteristics

What the Platycerium holttumii distinguishes it from other staghorn ferns is the combination of finely textured shield leaves and highly branched fertile leaves that fan out in an elegant pattern. Its silvery green to gray-green color creates a soft, matte effect that contrasts nicely with vibrant green foliage of other plants. With proper care, it will develop into an imposing presence that looks great hanging or attached to a piece of cork bark.

Care

Light

Place this fern in a bright spot with filtered daylight. Direct sunlight, especially in the afternoon, can cause leaf damage.

Temperature

Ideal temperatures are between 18 and 27 °C. Protect the plant from drafts and cold air currents.

Substrate

Use an airy, well-draining substrate, such as a mix of tree bark and sphagnum. You can also mount the plant on cork or wood, as in its natural habitat.

Humidity

This species likes high humidity. A value of 60% or higher is ideal. Spray regularly when the air is dry, especially in the winter months.

Nutrition

Feed the plant monthly during the growing season with a highly diluted orchid fertilizer or fern feed.

Watering

Allow the plant to dry slightly between waterings. Preferably use demineralized water and avoid leaving water in the heart of the plant.

Flowering

Like other Platycerium-species, this fern does not bloom in the classic way. Its ornamental value is entirely in its unique leaf structures and growth habit.
