Meet the Platycerium 'Superbum' (Giant Staghorn Fern)

Platycerium ‘Superbum’, commonly known as the Giant Staghorn Fern, is a spectacular epiphytic fern native to the rainforests of Australia. In the wild, it grows attached to trees, absorbing moisture and nutrients from the surrounding environment. It is admired for its enormous antler-shaped fronds and large shield fronds that form a dramatic sculptural display as the plant matures. Thriving in warm, humid conditions with filtered light, it is often mounted or displayed hanging to showcase its impressive form.
