Botany Encyclopedia

Genus : Platycerium

🏝️ Habitat Conditions

This plant grows in tropical regions of South America and Southeast Asia. It prefers warm and humid environments. Since it grows attached to trees or rocks, it is better to receive indirect light for extended periods rather than direct sunlight.

🪨 Soil Mix

When planting, it's best to use well-draining soil. Typically, mix 40% potting soil, 20% bark, 20% leaf mold, 10% perlite, and 10% charcoal. However, the ratio can vary depending on the situation and environment. Besides soil, you can also plant in sphagnum moss, wood mounts, or moss.

🌡️ Environment

Maintain a temperature of 16-25°C, and keep it above 10°C in winter. Keep humidity at 50-70% and ensure good air circulation in humid conditions to prevent mold.

👀 Characteristics details

This plant has two types of leaves. The first type, called shield leaves, grows by wrapping around the base. Over time, they turn brown and decompose naturally, providing nutrients to the plant, so it's best not to remove them. The second type, called fertile leaves, grows upward to receive light. This plant is also great for interior decoration. It can be grown as a hanging plant by attaching it to a wooden mount or moss ball.

☀️ Light

Epiphytic plants prefer prolonged exposure to indirect light rather than direct sunlight.

💧 Water

For plants in soil, water them when the soil dries out. For plants in sphagnum moss or regular moss, water them before the moss completely dries out. If misting is insufficient, soak them in water to ensure they are well-watered.

🌱 Propagate

Typically, mature plants aged 3-5 years are propagated through spores or rhizomes. Propagation via rhizomes involves new shoots emerging from empty sections and growing. When these shoots reach about 30% of the parent plant's size, they can be separated for propagation. Propagation using spores is challenging and time-consuming but allows for obtaining many new plants. Spores form under the reproductive leaves and mature over 3-4 weeks. Once mature, they can be separated when they leave a residue upon touch. After separation, spread the spores evenly over sterilized peat moss in a large container. Keep the container sealed in a space with indirect light and maintain high temperature and humidity. Germination occurs in 2-3 months, appearing moss-like. Once true leaves appear, transplant them for further growth.

🪴 Repot

Repot healthy plants every 2-3 years in spring, as they do not grow quickly.

💊 Fertilize

Using fertilizer at the recommended amount during spring and summer can lead to more vigorous growth.

😵 Toxicity

Non-toxic and safe for pets and children.
