Item description : One young Platycerium alcicorne “Madagascar” sporeling. You receive a plant similar to the pictured ones (it’s unnecessary to ask me for a specific plant from the pictures as they only serve as exemple and are not the exact same plants that are for sale, they are all of top quality and I select only the best to be shipped)
Habitat and Description : Beautiful epiphytic fern from Madagascar and fairly rare in cultivation. The shields (sterile fronds) are grey green and contrast with the deep green of the fertile fronds.
Care : Easy to grow but prefers acidic water, if your water is too alkaline it’s better to bath your plant in rainwater or distilled water. When the plant is well acclimated, you can put it in half shade or full sun. This species can tolerate drought to some extent but needs plenty of water during the growing season.
Cold hardiness : Tropical
