Silver Elkhorn Staghorn Fern - Platycerium veitchii

With around 20 varieties of Staghorn Ferns, what makes this beauty unique is its silvery gray-green fronds. Pair the Australian Silver Elkhorn Fern next to the Netherlands Elkhorn for contrasting coloration. If you're trying to choose which type of Staghorn to add to your collection, check out the 4 star varieties in our carefully-curated collection, because while all Staghorns are whimsical and collectible, we think Platycerium veitchii, bifurcatum Netherlands, elephantotis, and superbum are the most unusual and rewarding. Staghorn ferns can be grown in many ways: in a pot or mounted on a slab of wood, tree fern fiber, or a wire basket. They do well indoors and outdoors in areas where freezes rarely occur.
