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 ridleyi var. 'Round' is a special appearance within the world of epiphytic ferns. This rare variety of the already impressive Platycerium ridleyi is known for its unique leaf structure and is collected by plant enthusiasts worldwide for its exclusive appearance and exceptional growth form.

Origin

Like the common Platycerium ridleyi this variety is native to the tropical rain forests of Southeast Asia, especially Malaysia and parts of Indonesia. It grows there as an epiphyte - that is, on trees, without damaging them - in moist, warm conditions with high humidity and filtered light.

Characteristics

What these var. 'Round' differs from the ordinary ridleyi, is mainly in the shape of the fertile leaves (the branching 'staghorn' leaves). In the case of the normal ridleyi these leaves are often irregularly branched with pronounced, pointed ends. In contrast, the 'Round' has more rounded lobes, giving a softer, more symmetrical appearance - a detail considered exceptionally elegant by collectors.

Furthermore, like the common ridleyi retains the characteristic, bowl-shaped shield leaves (the sterile leaves at the base), which form a natural water and humus collection - an ingenious system that allows the plant to survive in the treetops.

Care

The care of the Platycerium ridleyi var. 'Round' requires attention and experience.

Light

Place the plant in a spot with bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.

Water

Allow the shield leaves to dry slightly between waterings, but avoid complete desiccation. Dip the root ball or mounting piece in lukewarm water and drain well.

Humidity

A humidity of 60% or higher is ideal. Regular misting helps, especially with dry indoor air.

Location

This fern thrives well on a wooden board or cork board, as in its natural habitat. Ensure adequate air circulation around the plant.

Due to its exclusive form and limited availability, the Platycerium ridleyi var. 'Round' is a true showpiece for any botanical collection. This plant is not only an ornament, but also a living example of how variation in nature leads to true art.
