Growing Tips for Platycerium bifurcatum

Light

Place the plant in a bright location, but avoid direct sunlight, as this can burn its sensitive fronds. Filtered light or indirect light is ideal.

Humidity

Maintain high relative humidity around the plant.

Watering Platycerium bifurcatum

Water the plant regularly to keep the substrate slightly moist. However, avoid leaving the soil soggy, as this can lead to root rot. Make sure the pot has good drainage to allow excess water to drain away.

Substrate

Use a well-draining mix for growing your Platycerium bifurcatum. Our special indoor plant substrate is particularly suitable.

Culture temperature

Keep the plant in a constant temperature range between 10°C and 29°C. Avoid cold drafts and extreme temperatures.

Fertilization

Fertilize the plant with a balanced fertilizer diluted to a reduced concentration once a month during the growing season (spring and summer). Stop fertilizing during the winter months when the plant is dormant.

Size

If necessary, remove dead or damaged fronds to encourage the growth of new, healthy fronds. Be careful, however, even dead leaves are particularly tough.
