Platycerium Wandae

Elevate your fern collection with the Platycerium Wandae, an extraordinary live tropical fern admired for its massive shield fronds, gracefully arching fertile fronds, and impressive architectural form. Native to tropical forests, this remarkable staghorn fern develops into a breathtaking specimen that commands attention in homes, greenhouses, shaded patios, and botanical collections. Its sculptural growth habit and lush green foliage make it a prized choice for both experienced collectors and enthusiasts of tropical plants.

Spectacular Staghorn Fronds

The defining feature of Platycerium Wandae is its dramatic combination of broad basal shield fronds and long, elegantly branching fertile fronds. The shield fronds form a protective base that supports the plant, while the fertile fronds extend outward in graceful, antler-like shapes with a soft silvery-green appearance. As the plant matures, the fronds become increasingly large and impressive, creating a striking natural display that transforms any growing space.

Majestic Epiphytic Growth Habit

Platycerium Wandae naturally grows as an epiphyte, attaching itself to trees in its native habitat. It thrives when mounted on wooden plaques, tree fern panels, or displayed in hanging baskets where its magnificent fronds can develop freely. Over time, the plant forms an increasingly dramatic specimen with overlapping shield fronds and cascading fertile foliage, making it an exceptional centerpiece for tropical plant collections.

Easy Care for Healthy Development

This live tropical fern performs best in bright, indirect light with good air circulation and moderate to high humidity. Keep the growing medium or mounting material lightly moist while allowing excess water to drain freely between waterings. Warm temperatures and occasional feeding during the active growing season encourage vigorous frond production and healthy, long-term growth.

Healthy Plants, Carefully Packed

Every live plant is carefully selected for healthy growth, well-established roots or mounts, and premium-quality foliage before being professionally packaged for shipment. Our secure packing methods help ensure your Platycerium arrives healthy and ready to establish in its new environment.
