Platycerium coronarium (Staghorn Fern)

Bring a touch of the tropical rainforest into your space with the stunning Platycerium coronarium, also known as the Staghorn Fern. This striking epiphytic fern is admired for its dramatic, antler-like fronds that can grow impressively large, creating a sculptural display whether mounted on wood, hanging, or grown in a basket.

Native to Southeast Asia, this fern thrives in bright, indirect light and high humidity—perfect for shaded patios, greenhouses, or airy indoor spots. Its fertile fronds cascade gracefully, while the rounded basal fronds form a shield that helps protect its roots and retain moisture.

Care Tips:

• Light: Bright, indirect light or partial shade

• Water: Mist regularly or soak when fronds appear dry
