Platycerium holttumii seeds grow into a striking epiphytic fern native to Southeast Asia. This tropical fern species displays unique, antler-shaped fronds that add a dramatic touch to any collection. People often call it Holttum’s staghorn fern because of its distinctive, lobed foliage that resembles deer antlers. The Platycerium holttumii is admired for its ornamental appeal and unusual growth habit.
