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 'Monkey Silver' looks like a plant from a fairy tale. Where the famous Monkey King exudes strength and playfulness, the Monkey Silver shows an almost magical elegance. It gets its name from the silvery haze that lies over its leaves, giving it a mysterious, shiny appearance. It is a plant that immediately catches the eye and almost has something otherworldly about it.

Origin

Platyceriums grow naturally in tropical forests of Asia, Africa and Australia, where they live high in trees as epiphytes. With their shield leaves, they protect roots and collect rainwater and organic matter. 'Monkey Silver' is an enthusiast-selected variety distinguished by its distinctive leaf texture and silvery glow.

Characteristics

What makes this selection special are the long, branched fertile leaves that exude the same playful energy as the Monkey King, but with a subtle silver-gray surface that glows softly in the light. The shield leaves build up firmly and provide a solid base, while the fertile leaves fan out like a crown. The whole gives the impression of a living work of art that never seems to stand the same.

Care

Light

The Monkey Silver prefers a bright spot with plenty of indirect sunlight. A little morning or evening sun is well tolerated, but avoid bright midday sun.

Temperature

Ideal temperatures are between 18 and 28 °C. Below 12 °C, damage may occur, so protect it well from cold.

Substrate

This Platycerium grows best on a mount of wood or cork, or in a very airy fern substrate. Its roots like air circulation and should not be in compact substrate.

Humidity

A humidity of 60-80% is desirable. In drier areas, regular spraying or the use of a humidifier helps.

Nutrition

In the growing period (spring and summer) feed once a month with a diluted orchid or fern fertilizer.

Watering

Always use demineralized water or clean rainwater. Dip the root zone or mounting piece in water weekly and then drain well. More frequent watering may be required during warm periods.

Bloom

The Monkey Silver does not bloom decoratively. Its beauty lies in its unique leaf structure, elegant growth habit and especially the special silver sheen that distinguishes it from all other Platyceriums.
