Platycerium Willinkii “Jade Girl”
Known for its exceptionally delicate and elegant appearance, featuring soft silvery-green fertile fronds with a characteristic jade-green coloration and slight silver haze. The fertile fronds are short, broad, and multi-forked with notably slender, elongated finger-like divisions that create a graceful, downward-cascading effect. Distinguished by thick silvery pubescence (fine hairs) that gives the plant an almost ethereal, silvery appearance. The shield fronds form a protective base that develops character over time.
Care Requirements:
- Light: Bright, indirect light; can tolerate some direct morning sun when acclimated
- Water: Allow to dry completely between waterings; soak method or misting preferred
- Temperature: 65-80°F (18-27°C) - adaptable to various conditions
- Mounting: Well-draining sphagnum moss on wood boards; excellent drainage essential
Special Notes: Originally discovered in Indonesia around 2016-2017 and is one of the famous "Big Six" dwarf staghorn cultivars. Nicknamed the "National Dwarf" (國民侏儒) in Chinese-speaking communities due to its reputation as the easiest dwarf staghorn to grow. Excellent choice for beginners entering the dwarf staghorn world, as it's more forgiving than other dwarf varieties. Can thrive in controlled environments with plant lights or outdoor semi-shade conditions. Compact growth makes it perfect for small spaces while maintaining the classic staghorn aesthetic.
