Care Guide: Platycerium wandae ‘Dwarf’
Platycerium wandae ‘Dwarf’ (genus: Platycerium) is a compact version of the majestic staghorn fern species, offering lush, sculptural beauty with easier care and space requirements. It thrives as a mounted specimen or in a hanging basket, making it a favorite for vertical gardens or shaded patios.
☀️ Light
Prefers bright, filtered light — mimicking dappled sunlight under a forest canopy. Avoid direct, harsh sun as it can scorch the fronds. Indoors, place near an east or north-facing window.
💧 Water
Water deeply when the medium feels dry, typically once a week. If mounted, soak the root ball and shield fronds for 10–15 minutes. Allow to dry slightly between waterings to prevent rot.
🌡️ Temperature & Humidity
Enjoys warm, humid environments (60–85°F). Protect from frost. Boost humidity with regular misting or by placing near a humidifier — especially indoors or during dry seasons.
🌱 Growing Tips
Use sphagnum moss or a fern bark mix for mounted or basket growth. Fertilize monthly during spring and summer with a diluted liquid fertilizer. Avoid fertilizing the shield fronds directly.
🧡 Pet-Friendly?
Yes! Platyceriums are non-toxic to pets, though they should still be kept out of reach to protect the fronds from nibblers.
