Product Description:

The Platycerium ridleyi, also known as the Ridley’s Staghorn Fern, is a beautiful and unique plant that is native to Southeast Asia. It is known for its large, antler-shaped fronds that can grow up to several feet long. The fronds are divided into two types: shield fronds and antler fronds. The shield fronds are broad and rounded, while the antler fronds are narrow and deeply divided.

The Platycerium ridleyi is an epiphytic plant, meaning that it grows on other plants or trees, rather than in the soil. It is relatively easy to care for and makes a great addition to any indoor or outdoor space.

• Platycerium ridleyi ferns prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight, as this can scorch their leaves.
• Water your Platycerium ridleyi fern regularly, but be careful not to overwater it. The potting mix should be moist, but not soggy.
• Fertilize your Platycerium ridleyi fern once a month during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer diluted to half strength.
• Platycerium ridleyi ferns can be grown indoors or outdoors. If growing outdoors, bring your plant inside during the winter if temperatures drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
