Distribution Map of Platycerium coronarium
Platycerium coronarium is a fern native to the humid rainforests of Southeast Asia. It has an epiphytic lifestyle, typically growing on large trees within this biodiverse region. While predominantly found in its natural habitat, platycerium coronarium has also been introduced to other tropical areas where the environment mimics its native conditions. Despite this, it remains most prolific within its indigenous range, flourishing in the equatorial climates that provide the high humidity and warmth it requires.

Common Pests & Diseases
Transplant
24-36 inches
Transplanting platycerium coronarium thrives when shifted in the cusp seasons: ideally just as spring awakens or when fall's crispness wanes into winter. Opt for bright, indirect light settings to prevent stress. Gentle handling is paramount for these delicate perennials.
Transplant Techniques Notch
The Notch disease in Platycerium coronarium is a common biotic disorder caused by specific pathogens resulting in significant deterioration. It is characterized by irregular notches or divots in the fronds, which can drastically affect the overall health and aesthetic of the plant if left untreated.
