Platycerium veitchii 'Braam'

Light bright position, can happily tolerate sun.

Allow the soil to begin to dry out before watering. Due to the hard shield leaves covering the plant root ball, it is best to water from below rather directly onto the leaves. Dunk the plant in water for 10-15 minutes (less in winter) and ensure there is adequate drainage. Don’t leave the plant sitting in water continually.

The Common Staghorn Fern thrives in normal household temperatures: between 16-24°C. Try to always keep your plant above 12°C at the very minimum. Avoid cold draughts. These ferns prefer higher humidity levels where possible. Mist regularly. Ideal plants for kitchens and bathrooms. Liquid fertiliser can be applied occasionally during the growing season.
