Plant Care difficulty

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Hard)

Platycerium veitchii ‘Lisa’ spore emerges as a new story from an ancient lineage.
Each frond unfurls in silver-green tones, soft as light on desert stone.

‘Lisa’ carries the soul of the highland cliffs, where air is thin, sunlight pure, and survival becomes art.
A fern of resilience and grace, sculpted by sun and silence.

Bathed in soft light, the Platycerium veitchii ‘Lisa’ stands like living art — its silver-green fronds rising elegantly from a moss-wrapped mount.

Each contour tells a story of balance between strength and stillness — the shield fronds curve gently, protecting the heart beneath, while the fertile fronds reach upward like antlers of mist and air.

Mounted on wood, it embodies both wilderness and design — a union of nature’s raw texture and human artistry.

In quiet spaces, it feels almost celestial — a fern sculpted by wind and light.

How to Take Care

The Secret Life of Happy Plants

(No. 01)

☀️ Light

Loves bright, filtered sunlight — the kind that mimics mountain light.
Can tolerate gentle morning or late afternoon sun; avoid scorching midday rays.

Thrives in warm to moderate climates (18–30°C).
Appreciates airflow and moderate humidity — too much moisture can cause rot.

(No. 02)

💧 Watering

Allow the mounting medium (moss or bark) to dry slightly before watering again.
Tolerates short dry periods — prefers good air circulation.

(No. 03)

🌿 Fertilizing

Feed monthly in growing season with diluted orchid or fern fertilizer.
Reduce feeding during cooler or dormant months.

(No. 04)

🌱 Soil

Best displayed mounted on wood or bark to reflect its natural epiphytic growth.
Use a thin layer of sphagnum moss beneath the base for moisture retention.
