With graceful, cascading fronds that shimmer in a soft silvery green, Jade Girl is the kind of plant that stops time. A refined cultivar of Platycerium willinckii, she evokes the gentle spirit of the rainforest — graceful, wild, and impossibly elegant.
Her fertile fronds stretch and curl like antlers dipped in moonlight, while the shield fronds cradle her base like natural armor, forming a sculptural silhouette that shifts with the light.
This staghorn fern isn’t just a plant — she’s living art.

(No. 01)
Platycerium willinckii ‘Nano’ loves bright, indirect light.
Think filtered sunlight—like what you’d find near a window with sheer curtains or under a tree canopy.
Avoid direct midday sun, as it can scorch the delicate fronds.
If grown indoors, a spot near an east or north-facing window is ideal.
Outdoors (in tropical climates), it thrives in shaded or semi-shaded areas.
(No. 02)
This little staghorn enjoys moisture, but not soggy conditions. Here’s how to keep it happy:
Water 1–2 times a week depending on temperature and humidity.
Let the mounting medium (like moss or wood) partially dry out between waterings.
In warmer or drier climates, misting the fronds a few times a week helps maintain humidity.
During cooler months, reduce watering frequency.
Always water thoroughly—ideally by soaking the whole mount for about 15–20 minutes, then allow it to drain well.
(No. 03)
Feed lightly with a diluted orchid or epiphyte fertilizer every 3–4 weeks during the growing season (spring/summer).
Skip feeding in winter or if the plant is resting.
Avoid getting fertilizer directly on fronds — water/fertilize at the base.
(No. 04)
Best mounted on wood or grown in a very loose, airy mix if potted (orchid bark, sphagnum moss, and charcoal work well).
Good airflow is essential — do not bury the base or use dense potting soil.
Mimic their epiphytic nature (growing on trees) with vertical mounts if you can.
