Platycerium Netherlands
Platycerium Netherlands
The Platycerium ‘Netherlands’, also known as a compact Staghorn Fern, is a modern favourite for its unique antler-like fronds and lush, velvety texture. Its upright, sculptural form makes it a perfect choice for both minimalist spaces and botanical collections. Unlike its larger staghorn relatives, this variety has a more compact growth habit, making it an ideal choice for tabletops, small shelves, or hanging displays.
With its striking, architectural fronds and easy-care personality, the Netherlands is a statement piece that adds a cool, tropical vibe to any space.
