Platycerium bifurcatum is often grown as an ornamental plant and is popular for its unique appearance and ease of cultivation.
Platycerium bifurcatum is a species of fern commonly known as the Elkhorn fern or Staghorn fern. It is native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands. The plant is named after its unique fronds which resemble the antlers of a stag or elk, with two distinct types of fronds: sterile and fertile. The sterile fronds are flat, round and large and are used to anchor the plant to trees or other surfaces, while the fertile fronds are narrow and upright, bearing spores on the undersides for reproduction.
