Platycerium Elephantotis Fern

Product Description:

Bring bold, tropical elegance into your home or garden with the Platycerium Elephantotis Fern, a rare and eye-catching staghorn fern species known for its dramatic foliage. Native to Africa, this exotic plant features broad, shield-like basal fronds and uniquely rounded fertile fronds that resemble elephant ears—hence the name Elephantotis. Unlike typical staghorn ferns with antler-like growth, this variety showcases lush, undulating fronds with a leathery texture and a gentle green hue that adds architectural flair to any space.

Perfect for mounting on wood, hanging in baskets, or growing in shaded garden beds, the Platycerium Elephantotis thrives in warm, humid environments with indirect light. Its sculptural form makes it a living piece of art—ideal for plant enthusiasts looking to add a truly rare specimen to their collection.
