Description
Platycerium bifurcatum is also known as the Elkhorn fern. It is an epiphytic fern meaning it can grow on another plant or object with no need for soil. Native to Southeast Asia, Polynesia and subtropical Australia she is accustomed to moist, rainforest environments so keep her in a nice shaded spot and consistently moist but not sopping wet. If they get low to medium light and moderate moisture, they will thrive.
Whether grown indoors or outside, provide moderate moisture and humus-rich soil. Outdoor plants should be located in partial shade or low light conditions for the best growth, while indoor plants need bright indirect light.
This interesting fern has architectural striking fronds that are light green/greyish in colour and feel like velvet to touch. The distinct fertile fronds look like the forked antlers of an elk hence the nickname Elkhorn.

What to use me for: I’m a show-off talking piece so bring me indoors or make sure people can see me in your garden
I grow to: I’ll reach 90cms tall and 80cms
Where to place me: I love light shade to full shade
How far to space me: Give me 100cms of space to stretch out my prongs
Soil Conditions: I need very well-drained soil or a piece of wood for grip
Please take care when choosing your plants. Some plants are poisonous and individuals may be more sensitive or react differently.
I am currently 30cm tall in a 125mm nursery pot
They do need regular watering, especially in dry conditions. A good soaking once a week during warm weather is needed, hold back a bit in cooler weather. Ensure that the plant is not allowed to dry out and keep moist. When she grows up you might want to transplant her from a pot to a bit of wood where you can mount her in sphagnum moss to help replicate her most natural environment.
Our plants are beautifully grown and have well-developed roots. They are hardened, can be planted directly into the planters and are excellent performing Indoor plants - it’s our plant promise guarantee!
We carefully package your plants into a customised box to ensure safe transport, healthy plants and fast, free delivery to your door

Garden Coach: Week 1
Keeping your plants alive the first 30 days is critical. Don't worry, I’ll guide you through
Let me kick off with watering.
Succulents don’t like a lot of water and long periods of drought won’t hurt yours one bit, they’re the best type of plant for forgetful folk, or those that are away from home a fair bit, so don’t feel bad if you haven’t given him a drink yet. One of the most common mistakes people make is watering them too much! The best potting mix for succulents is a well draining one. Using a good potting mix of porous soil for succulents is super important to prevent overwatering. Water your succulent when the soil is dry. Soak it thoroughly rather than giving it regular sips and always empty excess water from the saucer as it will rot the roots. If you’re struggling try one of our self-watering pots they make a plant killer look like a pro! In winter succulents need even less water. You can touch the soil each week and if it’s even a bit damp then leave it alone and try again the following week. Succulents need little moisture and although it seems cruel, a sure-fire way to kill your beauty is by watering it frequently. This will turn it to mush.
If in doubt, leave it without.
Don't leaf just yet!
