Thank you so much for this detailed video. I was searching around a lot on the internet for some information, because I recently got my own first stag horn fern. Much love from Germany
Thank you, sir, this was amazing! I've seen very small stubborn on occasion at a greenhouse I shop at. I never realized how many there were, how big some could get, or what fascinating plants that they are! The pictures and information you shared has really opened my eyes to the unusual and unique beauty of this plant and I thank you for that.
Such fascinating unearthly looking plants. I was thrilled with the “normal” one I purchased a couple of months ago. Had no idea of so many. Hope to hear about them in the near future.
Liked your video, I knew there were different types of the staghorn, just not so many. I’m looking forward to viewing more videos. Thank you for making this video.
I really enjoyed this video as I am just starting to collect and grow these beauties. I started with 3 very small plants which have grown a bit over the years. I really don’t know what type, but I can get a better idea now. This video will definitely help me in figuring just what I have. Looking forward to your upcoming videos...Mahalo!
Thank you for your post. on a subject wonting of information. Despite P. elephantotis originating from drier habitats, here in the highlands of central Mexico (winter night temps. drop to around 10 degrees) that outside of the rainy season P. elephantotis actually requires daily waterings to thrive. It pups with abandon when watered daily, but dies when watering is reduced. They're mounted outside on generous amts. of fern fibre.
This is fantastic. Thank you so much. I purchased a Grande at the local nursery and it is just two shield fronds and no fertile fronds. Looking forward to your care video.
I have a grande I bought in 1980 and had it growing in full shade and in 30 years it never got any bigger than 8 inches across. I relocated it to a location under 50% shade cloth and it has exploded in size and I now have my first fertile fronds. They say the grande needs to be about 18 inches from the bud to the top before fertile fronds will form
I'm wondering about the growth habit of the lemoniei, and which species you've discussed that may be similar. Thank you for sharing your wealth of information!
I have a few here in the bay area's 10a bordering 10b. P.superbum does great,P,bifurcatum has been in a tree almost 40 years now and my newest of three years ago is P. veitchii lemoinei. I have that mounted on my large old Yucca guatemalensis. Now,what is different about P.v. lemoinei from the species and why is it more common than the species? What are the chances for P.andinum outdoors in the bay area? P.elephantotis?
Thank you so much for this video it was beautiful. I wish I could find a Grande and Elkhorn for my greenhouse. I love them them and what you show on your displayed was fabulous. I just hope you keep up with this video and can let me know where I may find both species. The plants I have are over 25 yrs and growing strong they are now on to to propagating for pups to family and friends as my mom wanted before she died 6 years ago,
Thank you for the very informative lecturer. I am an avid fern lover and try my best to collect whatever I can get my hands on. I have to say, I would kill to get my hands on one of your collection though-BREATHTAKING! I recently purchased a platycerium bifurcatum because I was told it is one that will grow quite large. It arrived in dirt so as not to shock it, I freshened up its media but left it in soil for now. I understand that this plant, one should mist seeing on how it also pulls its moisture in through its leaves. My question is when do I know when I should prune a leaf that has browned off of this plant?
Which would lend itself nice to culture indoors as a hanging basket? As in not impossible to keep alive, doesn't get massive, and fronds hang good instead of just sticking out horizontal making it huge but at the same time doesn't look sparse. Anyone have any idea? This all seems a bit overwhelming haha.
Cont'd - or limonei (spelling uncertain) in the 1980's which is highly tomentose (covered in white hairs) - appearance is very different from most platyceria. At the time, it was unknown which species were involved in the cross. I noticed that it was not named in your video. Has the name been changed or has it dropped out of cultivation? I still have it, 35 years later.
unmatched quick info. thank you so much for this. its huge for our MN community
Thank you for the much needed video! Only one that is so detailed on all the different species! Thanks so much.
The best publication online!

Your video is amazing! Until now, is the most complete about Platycerium. Thank you so much.
Blown away by your knowledge of Platycerium species! Very informative video, thank you.
Awesome and informative. Thanks so much for taking the time to educate those of us eager to learn about staghorns!
The most interesting video of Staghorn I've ever seen.
Fascinating and very good overview. Many thanks sir!

Love it
Superb see our platycerium in Sri Lanka

Staghorn Fern is absolutely pretty attractive beautiful plant

P.elephantotis?

Good info
I can cross breed them by mixing spores?
how can you tell which species has a basket/ring shield frond?
G00D Evening from Auckland, New Zealand it’s Saturday, February 29, 2020.
Good evening from Jervis Bay, Australia it's Sunday, March 29, 2020
Good evening from Karnataka, India, it’s Monday May 11, 2020.

Question: How do I revive a sickly fern?
do you have any web sites to suggest for more identification ? I have some form of "FERN" and didn't see it in this video ?
I obtained a hybrid called lemonei
Cont'd - or limonei (spelling uncertain) in the 1980's which is highly tomentose (covered in white hairs) - appearance is very different from most platyceria.
