Platycerium Species, French Silver Staghorn Fern, Silver Elkhorn Fern

I must agree with palmbob.. personally I don't find this plat anymore drought tolerant than any other plat. mine grow vastly better with...Read More some regular watering. contrary to reports on the internet of "brushing off months of drought" I'm fairly certain after months of drought mine would be "very dead".

Once established, P. veitchii grows in Miami without any care. It handles sun without any problems. The most obvious distinction betwee...Read Moren it and the common staghorn (P. bifurcatum), is the fact that its fronds are upright.

Great looking nearly white Platycerium for brighter sunnier areas of your yard where the other species might bake or suffer. Arid region...Read Mores of N Australia is where this one comes from, but it really isn't drought tolerant, so don't push it. Very easy to grow here in So Cal- takes sun and frost (though should be protected from blazing, hot, dry sun).
