Item description : One mature plant of Platycerium ridleyi old enough to produce spores. The plant for sale is the plant on pictures. The last picture is my motherplant (not for sale)

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

WARNING: It’s winter, so don’t forget to check out the 72-hour (3-day) hand warmers in the shop! Please note that deliveries are only guaranteed for France (via Colissimo or Chronopost) or Express shipping for the rest of the EU! Generally, for Belgium and Germany, the Chronopost or Colissimo options work well as parcels take 2 to 3 days. Avoid Mondial Relay if it’s cold, as parcels take a minimum of 3 days!

Habitat and Description : Epiphytic fern from SE Asia and very south after ny collectors. It grows at low altitude on well exposed tree branches. It seems that the shield of this species house ants in a symbiotic relationship.

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. Contrary to popular belief, this species is not very difficult to cultivate. These for sale grow at 22-28°C and 50-60% humidity. It’s likely that this difficult reputation is due to import specimen and wild harvested ones.

Cold hardiness : Purely tropical species.
