Platycerium elephantotis

Common Name: Elephant Ear Staghorn Fern

Platycerium elephantotis, often called the Elephant Ear Staghorn Fern, is a striking species known for its broad, shield-like fronds that form smooth, rounded “ears” as they mature. Unlike more deeply lobed staghorns, its sculptural fronds create bold, flowing shapes that add instant drama to walls or mounted displays. Thriving in bright, indirect light with regular misting, this distinctive fern brings a refined, artistic presence to any tropical or botanical collection.
