#platycerium

An hour or two of direct sun on this staghorn fern is acceptable but then the plant would reach critical dryness faster, meaning that I would have to water sooner (and yes, I have to take the whole plant down, run it in the shower, wait for it to stop dripping, and then carefully lift it back onto the hook).
-
Light modifier: a white sheer curtain to diffuse direct sun. It’s a great way to lessen the heat stress on your plants that prefer “bright indirect light” (no need to do this for cacti).
-
2) In a nursery growing tropical foliage plants, shade cloth is used for the same purpose.
-
Staghorn fern watering strategy: given adequate lighting, I just feel the sphagnum moss. When it reaches the point of feeling dry but still soft, then I can water sometime within the week. If I wait longer, the moss becomes hard: that’s the WATER IMMEDIATELY signal.

Shortly after staging this photo, I discovered a rather severe spider mite infestation on this Platycerium superbum - probably got worse because I wasn’t inspecting the plant daily. Plant stand: bought this in Singapore.
-
2) Anyway, for the past few months, it was growing nicely in this repurposed wooden salad bowl filled with pure sphagnum moss and held together with burlap stapled to the inside of the bowl.
-
3) Seeing as how the spider mites were congregating around the outside of the pot, I decided to remove the plant entirely and give it a good spray down outside with water. I’ve potted it into a temporary pot where I will monitor it closely. Rusty loppers included for horror movie effect (also because I couldn’t find smaller scissors outside)

100均の杉板はカビ生えちゃうから、板替えしたほうがいいのかなと思ってるんですが、こういうふうに育つと「板替え無理」ってなります。
キャベツ、もしくはキャンディの包み紙。
自然のリドレイの写真見る限り、細い丸太みたいなのがベストなんでしょうね…_(┐「ε:)_
よく、ここまで巻いてくれた。

Veitchiiの貯水葉はギザギザだー。貯水葉がこんなにギザギザ初めてみたかも。
