Elkhorn Fern (Platycerium bifurcatum)

The Elkhorn Fern (Platycerium bifurcatum) is a striking and unique epiphytic plant, celebrated for its antler-like fronds that create a bold, sculptural statement. This split is available in 3", 5", or 6" pots, making it an excellent addition for plant enthusiasts looking to add a touch of the exotic to their indoor or shaded outdoor spaces.

Lighting: Prefers bright, indirect light or dappled shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate fronds. It also thrives in filtered light conditions often found in bathrooms or near north-facing windows.
Humidity: Loves high humidity, mimicking its natural rainforest environment. Regular misting or placing the pot near a humidifier or in a bathroom can help meet its needs.
Care Tips: Water when the moss or potting medium feels dry to the touch, allowing it to dry slightly between waterings. Ensure proper drainage to avoid root rot. The Elkhorn Fern absorbs nutrients through its fronds, so occasional foliar feeding with a diluted fertilizer can boost growth.

This fascinating fern is a conversation starter and an ideal choice for those seeking a unique and easy-to-care-for addition to their collection. With proper care, it will thrive and grow into an impressive display!
