Platycerium bifurcatum – Tropical Stag Horn Fern
🦌 Sculptural foliage • 🌿 Tropical epiphyte • 💧 Easy care • 🏙️ Urban design • 🐾 Pet safe
The Platycerium bifurcatum, also called Stag Horn Fern or Fougère corne de cerf, is a fascinating and graphic tropical plant native to the humid forests of Australia and Southeast Asia.
Its spectacular foliage, reminiscent of a stag's antlers, makes it a true living work of art. An epiphyte in nature, it grows on tree trunks and absorbs ambient moisture — an ideal asset for modern interiors seeking nature, design, and serenity.
Exposure & placement
- Indirect light or partial shade, no direct sunlight.
- Ideal temperature: 18–25 °C.
- Prefers a soft and humid atmosphere (bathroom, living room, bright entrance).
- Can be hung, wall-mounted, or grown in a pot.
Watering & care
- Water every 8 to 10 days, when the medium is almost dry.
- Keep the substrate slightly moist, without excess water.
- Regularly mist the foliage to recreate tropical humidity.
- Use non-calcareous water to preserve the velvety texture.
- Do not cut old leaves: they feed the plant and protect new fronds.
Verdeia Tips
- Ideal support: install your Platycerium on a wooden board or a cork plate covered with moss; it will naturally attach itself there.
- Misting: 2 to 3 times a week in dry atmosphere to compensate for lack of humidity.
- Cleaning: dust the fronds with a soft brush without rubbing (their surface is covered with a protective down).
- Rotation: rotate it regularly for symmetrical and harmonious growth.
- Winter rest: in winter, slightly reduce watering and place it in the brightest possible light.
Decor ideas & combinations
- Mount it on a wooden board, a coconut plate, or a cork frame for a “green wall” effect.
- Combine it with Asparagus, Rhipsalis, or Scindapsus for an airy and textured ensemble.
- In a pot, choose a raw terracotta or matte ceramic planter cover for a natural style.
- Ideal for contemporary interiors seeking authenticity and originality.

Each package is designed to ensure that your plant arrives in perfect health and without stress related to transport.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos shown are true to the variety and the announced size (pot diameter and approximate height).
Each plant being unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or shade may exist — that is what makes them so charming!
What are the delivery times and conditions?

What to do upon receiving my plant?
Open your package upon receipt, carefully remove the plant from its packaging and let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering it.
If it has slightly suffered from transport, it will quickly regain its shape after one or two days in the light.
Can I put this plant outside?
It depends on the species. Most indoor plants prefer a bright place without direct sunlight, while outdoor plants like more direct light.
Refer to the exposure advice in the product description to know if it is suitable for a balcony, a terrace, or indoors.
What to do if my plant arrives damaged?

Our team will take the time to assess the situation and find the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Your satisfaction and the health of your plant remain our priority 🌿.

However, we guarantee good health upon delivery: if the plant arrives damaged, it will be replaced free of charge.
