{Our Staghorn Fern - Platycerium Bifurcatum Back Outside}

Our baby Staghorn Fern - Platycerium Bifurcatum is back outside in the garden! We brought it back from dear friend Natacha in Miami, last year June.
 Looking happy after its overwintering time in the green house.
Photo got taken on May 19.
From the link below you can see how Pieter had the tree cutters slice off a part of this trunk where it is tied to.
One day it might become too big for bringing back and forth to the greenhouse...
But till then, we enjoy it!

    Dearest Mariette,
    Thank you for yet another educational post. I have never seen this particular Fern before. It is neat and dramatic.

      Dearest Munir,
      Thank you, it is a very nice house plant but we can grow it also outdoors like this.
      Hugs,

    How Mariette...

    You are soooo informative. Never would have known that plant could go outside.

    Hope this finds you well!

      Dearest Rebecca,
      Well, in our climate it is happy during the spring, summer and autumn and than we have to place it inside the greenhouse! My friend in Miami can keep hers out year long...
      Hugs,

    Hello Mariette, I see these in Taiwan, often growing dramatically from the steep sides of walls or ravines. I love their primitive look. Yours appear quite healthy and well-shaped.

      Dearest Jim,
      Sure, in Taiwan they will thrive in that climate. They look like a very ancient plant that has been around a long time. With ours staying inside the greenhouse, we can keep it happy!
      Hugs,
      Mariette

      Beste Marianne,
      Ja, toen ik het bij vriendin Natacha zag in Miami, was met name Pieter ovetuigd dat wij dat ook konden, tenminste gedurende 3 seizoenen.
      Liefs,
      Mariette

    Very interesting. How do you get it off the tree to be able to take it back and forth?

      Dearest Tammy,
      Well if you click on the link below the blog, you can see how the professional tree cutters actually cut that trunk in a diagonal slice. That's what can be taken off during winter time and binding it back on in the spring.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

      Liebe Irmi,
      Ja, das stimmt; es ist das Hirschgeweih und auch auf English ist es genau das gleiche.
      Früher hatte ich auch eines im Wohnzimmer aber da ist die Luftfeuchtigkeit nie ins Optimum.
      Ganz liebe Grüsse,
      Mariette
