Platycerium Alcicorne Dwarf Sporeling

A compact selection of Platycerium alcicorne, specially propagated for its naturally smaller and denser growth habit.

Origin:
This sporeling originates from a careful selection of Platycerium alcicorne individuals exhibiting dwarf traits. Unlike the typical form, this dwarf variety maintains a much more compact structure, with shorter, thicker fronds and tighter shield frond formations. Under proper care, it retains the characteristic antler-shaped fertile fronds while offering a more space-efficient silhouette ideal for collectors with limited growing space.

Care Recommendations:
🌡️ Temperature: 65–85°F (18–29°C)
💧 Humidity: 60–80%
🌞 Light: Bright indirect light or filtered sunlight; avoid harsh direct midday sun

Difficulty Level: 2

Additional Notes:
This form is relatively easy to care for compared to other Platycerium species but will perform best with consistent humidity and good airflow. Over time, the dwarf form accentuates its tight, layered look, making it highly desirable for mounting displays or compact greenhouse collections.
