Life on the Rocks - Elkhorn

The Elkhorn (Platycerium) is a striking epiphytic fern named for the branching, antler-like fronds that spill outward in bold sculptural tiers. Mounted here on rock, it brings a living, gallery-worthy presence to a wall, a shelf edge, or a bright bathroom corner, where its soft grey-green foliage and rounded backing shield add texture you simply cannot get from a potted plant. It is a real conversation piece and grows more impressive with every new frond.

Give your Elkhorn bright, indirect light and a warm, humid spot away from harsh midday sun. Water by soaking the root ball and mount every week or so, letting it drain and dry slightly between drinks, and mist regularly to keep the humidity it loves. Grown and potted on-site, each plant is hand-picked and ready to settle into its new home.
