Platycerium Bifurcatum 

The most widely cultivated member of a genus that is itself unlike almost anything else in the fern world — Platycerium bifurcatum, the Common Staghorn Fern, is an epiphytic fern native to coastal and subtropical rainforests of eastern Australia, New Guinea, and Java, where it grows anchored to tree trunks and branches in a way that makes its relationship with conventional potting culture immediately and fundamentally incompatible. The plant produces two entirely distinct and morphologically different frond types that serve completely different functions: the shield or nest fronds, which are sterile, rounded, flat, overlapping fronds that press tightly against the mounting surface, anchoring the plant, protecting the root mass, and accumulating the falling leaf litter and organic debris that the plant depends on for nutrition in its treeside habitat; and the fertile or antler fronds, which are the dramatic, arching, deeply bifurcating fronds that give the species both its common and scientific names, growing outward from the shield fronds in silvery-green, strap-like blades that fork repeatedly in a branching, deer-antler silhouette — the undersides of mature fertile fronds covered in the brown, felt-like spore patches called sporangia that distinguish mature, healthy specimens. The silvery-grey surface quality of the fronds comes from a dense covering of star-shaped trichomes that are both functional — reducing water loss and reflecting harsh light — and extremely beautiful in the way they catch and diffuse light across the frond surface. Of all the staghorns, bifurcatum is by far the most tolerant of varied conditions, making it the ideal entry point into a genuinely addictive genus of collector ferns.

Platycerium bifurcatum is best grown mounted on a board, cork slab, or tree fern fiber panel rather than potted — the mounting surface should have a bed of sphagnum moss behind the root mass, and the plant attached with fishing line or twine until the shield fronds anchor it naturally. Provide bright indirect light to filtered direct sun; it is the most sun-tolerant staghorn in the genus and handles more light than most. Water by soaking the mount thoroughly — submerging the entire mount in water for 15-20 minutes — then allowing it to dry almost completely before the next watering; never mist the fronds regularly as this encourages rot. Never remove the brown shield fronds, which are a normal and essential part of the plant's structure. Humidity of 50-70% suits it well, and it tolerates lower humidity than most other Platycerium species. Feed by tucking banana peels, compost, or slow-release fertilizer behind the shield fronds, or by adding diluted liquid fertilizer to the soaking water monthly. Non-toxic to humans and pets.

Multiple ferns per 8" basket, frond length will vary between plants and not all plants will be the same size. Fronds average 6-12".

Great shoe for the price
Size: 9, Color: Black
My son needed a dressy pair of shoes. Decided to try these for the price. He loves them and has worn them several times. They still look great and he says they're comfortable. We ordered his regular size and it fit perfect. We’re very happy with this purchase.

Not a great fit
Size: 12 Wide, Color: Dark Brown
I got these hoping to have a good fit and comfy shoe. They do look very nice and some might like them. I got two different brands the same day these and another one ,both the same size and they fit widley different. These have a very long and pointed toe that made that uncomfortable and hard to walk in. I would have to try out other sizes to see if I could find one that fit better but I dont want to go through 5 pairs to get a good fit. That is a downfall of buying online. They did seem to be made well and like I said the looked good but the fit not great.

Perfect fit, high quality.
The soles are a bit stiffer than I'd like. Maybe not quite as nice as my RockPort shoes, but for the price, I couldn't be happier. These high-quality shoes were very affordable, comfortable, and fit me well. I wear them often and just don't have anything bad to say about them. Very happy with them.
