Platycerium Monkey North

Platycerium Monkey North. A distinctive staghorn fern known for its playful, branching fertile fronds that twist and curl with character as the plant matures. It forms a compact to medium-sized clump, with attractive shield fronds that age to a soft tan, giving it a sculptural, ornamental look.

Growing condition

Temperature: Ideal temperature range: 10°C – 30°C. Best grown in warm, stable conditions protected from frost.

Water: Use rainwater, distilled water, or RO water where possible. Keep mounting medium lightly moist, allowing it to dry slightly between waterings. Avoid prolonged dryness or waterlogging.

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light or filtered shade. Too much direct sun may damage fronds, while too little light can reduce growth and vigour.
