Platycerium Stemaria var ‘Laurentii”

🌿 Platycerium stemaria var. ‘Laurentii’ Rare Variegated Staghorn Fern

Meet the extraordinary Platycerium stemaria ‘Laurentii’ — one of the most eye-catching variegated staghorns available. Its creamy-yellow leaf marbling, wide shield fronds, and architectural fertile fronds make it a centerpiece plant that instantly elevates any room, patio, or plant wall. The variegation is stable, soft, and elegant — never loud or artificial — giving it a refined, collector-grade look.

✨ What Makes This Variety Special

• True variegation with creamy, soft yellow tones
• Shield fronds that form a beautiful sculpted cup
• Fast-growing once established
• Perfect for hanging boards, mounts, or baskets
• Highly sought after by collectors

🌤️ Light

Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid harsh direct sun — especially with variegation — as light patches can burn more quickly.

💧 Water

Allow the mounting media or basket to dry slightly between waterings. Staghorns love humidity and frequent misting helps keep fronds hydrated. Water more often in summer and reduce in winter.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

Thrives in warm, tropical conditions:
65–85°F with humidity above 50%. Keep away from cold drafts.

🪴 Mounting & Potting

Best grown on wooden boards, cork mounts, or in open baskets. If mounted, secure the base firmly so the shield fronds can grow naturally around it.

🌱 Growth Habit

‘Laurentii’ develops broad shield fronds and long, sculptural fertile fronds. Over time, it becomes an impressive, multi-layered specimen.
