Mischievous Monkeys Collection

The native species, Platycerium madagascariense (African Monkey Brain Staghorn Fern) and Platycerium ridleyi dwarf silver (Dwarf Silver-leafed Monkey Staghorn Fern), have always been a hot topic among many staghorn fern enthusiasts. These two species are both affordable and visually appealing, but much like mischievous monkeys, they often frustrate beginners. We frequently receive inquiries about care and maintenance, so we've specially introduced the "Mischievous Monkeys Collection" to offer a challenge for everyone to improve their growing skills. With the right approach, they’re not difficult at all!

P. Ridleyi Dwarf Silver: The adorable mini version of the Ridleyi Monkey Staghorn Fern, the dwarf silver variety is even smaller and more delicate. Its fronds are densely curled, and the newly grown spore fronds are strikingly white. This is a must-have miniature staghorn fern that resembles green coral on land.

P. Madagascariense: Among the 18 native species, the African Monkey Brain Staghorn Fern is the smallest. Its distinctive texture on the foliage is well-known, with raised veins and indented spaces between the veins, creating a remarkable three-dimensional appearance under light. Its thick, outwardly spreading spore fronds feature pale-colored veins, making it a frequent highlight in the fern community.

Suitable environment: Indoor, near a window with low light.
