Platycerium hillii "Dragon" - When Mother Nature Decided to Get Dramatic
There are plants that whisper. There are plants that sing. And then there's the Dragon - a hillii that decided subtlety was for the weak and chose the path of botanical theater instead.
Picture this: you're walking through a collection of perfectly respectable staghorns, all behaving themselves with their neat little fronds and polite growth habits. Then you turn a corner and BAM - there's the Dragon, sprawled across its mount like it owns the entire greenhouse, those impossibly wide fertile fronds cascading down in green waterfalls that seem to say "Yeah, I know I'm magnificent. What are you gonna do about it?"
This isn't your grandmother's houseplant. This is the staghorn that other staghorns gossip about at the nursery. While regular hillii are content with their "easy grower" reputation, Dragon took that foundation and built a personality on top of it. Those lush green shades aren't just color - they're attitude. Those beautiful veins aren't just structure - they're roadmaps to drama.
The thing about Dragon is that it makes being spectacular look effortless. It'll pup freely like it's no big deal, creating an entire dynasty of dramatic offspring. It'll tolerate your amateur care mistakes with the patience of a saint, then reward your mediocre efforts with a display that makes visitors stop mid-sentence and stare.
Care Requirements:
•Light: Partial sun to shade (dramatic lighting preferred, naturally)
•Water: Regular moisture without drowning the drama
•Temperature: 60-80°F, no frost (divas have standards)
•Space: 3-4 feet of room to properly showcase the performance
•Mounting: Cork or wood - needs a stage worthy of the show
Special Notes: This is the hillii that made collectors start using words like "cultivar" and "selection." It's what happens when you take everything good about hillii and turn the volume up to eleven.
