Item description : One young Platycerium superbum 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 : Epiphytic fern from Australia that can get huge. They’re found on trees in half shade to full sun. It makes two kinds of fronds : the « shields » for photosynthesis and rhizome protection and « fertile » fronds for reproduction.
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.
WARNING : These plantes were cultivated in a greenhouse under half shade, do not put them directly in full sun otherwise the leaves will burn !
Cold hardiness : Moderately cold hardy (-2°C) for short periods.
