The Platycerium Bifurcatum also called Staghorn Fern is a separate fern with broad spreading out forked leaves.
The plant has sterile (infertile) and fertile (fertile) leaves. The sterile niche or mantle leaves are wide and round, stand upright and support the dependent fertile leaves. The green cloak leaves slowly rot away and form humus from which the roots get food. The fertile leaf is much longer and often deeply incised. In some species the gray-green leaves become more than a meter long.
To reduce evaporation and to absorb air moisture, the leaf is covered with a gray-white, felt-like layer. This felt layer must never or never be wiped!
