Platycerium 'Geisha' (Staghorn fern)

Introduce timeless elegance with Platycerium 'Geisha'. This rare and captivating staghorn fern is a cultivar of Platycerium hillii, a species native to northern Australia that is closely related to the more common Platycerium bifurcatum and known for being particularly easy to grow.

The 'Geisha' cultivar is celebrated for its beautiful, wide, dark green sterile fronds with a subtle undulating texture. Its fertile fronds are broad and do not grow excessively long, giving the plant a refined and balanced appearance. As a "multi-eyed" (clumping) staghorn, it will produce multiple growing points over time, creating a lush, full specimen. 

The name "Geisha" evokes the grace and artistry of traditional Japanese culture, and this fern lives up to that namesake with its poised, sculptural form. It is a high sought-after collector's plant.
