Platycerium andinum

Item description : One young Platycerium andinum in a 10cm pot, the plant is approximately 10cm in diameter. You receive a plant similar to the pictured one (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). 

Only a handful of specimens available now, there should be more in Autumn 2024 if everything goes well.

All the Platycerium I offer were grown by myself from spores or offsets in France, unless stated otherwise. These plants are much easier and healthier than the ones offered imported directly from SE Asia that often go into shock because they were in a very different climate

Habitat and Description : The only Platycerium native of the Ameican continent! This species is found at mid elevation along the Andes, in Soutn America

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.  This species seems to favor dryer conditions than the other species. Very slow growing, they seem to speed up when they reach the size offered here

Cold hardiness : Purely tropical species.
