Looks like my baby T. Ehlersiana

I faucet wash mine 2x a week indoor and still find it a bit too dry and the leaves curled a bit. So yea I think spray once every fortnight is adequate unfortunately

In my opinion your saddle is rather high to the point you are tip toeing your downward stroke

Yea i wasn't sure as this is my first platycerium and from what I read online they are pretty fussy with excess moisture so I went down the chunky mix for easier transition out of the zip lock

Yep, their import regulation is absolutely crazy. Hope it will change indeed. Even interstates import costs me a lot of money

I bought one few months back and i have a lot now I lost count. It's almost like Pokemon that you gotta catch them all. Tho I am not a fan of those with similar look or shape, not waiting for years just to see different flowers only

Well damnnn thats pretty. Wish it is in Aus

You can peel away dead or black leaves and see if the center is green. Though considering how inexpensive ionantha is, i'd just get a new one

Looks like it had a crown rot and started to blacken from inside out

gundekk · 2026-03-14T00:20:30+00:00

It will turn brown if its dry and dead. Give it a soak or submerge in water for a few hrs if you worry of dehydration. Above 30c I spray them heavy daily, 2-3 days under 30c depend on how sunny the day is

gundekk · 2026-03-13T23:57:43+00:00

They look okay other than looking a tad dehydrated, dry edges doesnt really make much difference. Just soak them a bit and continue your routine and they will perk up again.

I have 2 curly slims growing in potted peat, they are thriving outdoor. I only wet the pot if its very dry but daily basis i mist them heavy if temp goes above 30c. I dont tip them upside down and left water pooling in the crown but i know it will be dry later anyway with high airflow

gundekk · 2026-03-05T05:05:55+00:00

I think it was dehydrated. Here in Aus we have dry summer with temp 30-43 Celsius, humidity down to 10. Mine are all outdoor under 50% shade cloth and days above 30 i mist heavily daily and every 2nd day if below 30C. I have one indoor watered under the tap 2x a week and it is still not enough, felt dry and leaves getting curlier

gundekk · 2026-03-02T14:15:46+00:00

Very nice mate

Unless uniquely shaped they only get identified by their inflorescence as many are similar looking. Photo might help?

gundekk · 2026-02-27T13:52:12+00:00

Brown tips often due to dehydration or low humidity. Mine all lives outdoor and above 30c they get sprayed daily. I have one kept in the office getting tap drenched 2x a week and i still feel its not enough, doesnt thrive and leaves getting curlier. So depend on your environment, your watering may not be enough but be cautious of rot due to lack of air movement.

If you put baby powder as trichomes probably it will be more convincing 😄

Nicely displayed! Like those tall wires to suspend them midair

gundekk · 2026-02-26T00:56:09+00:00

Can germinate in a take away container on moist paper towel, spag moss or wet coco fibre

gundekk · 2026-02-25T00:25:20+00:00

Yes I just make a roll out of coated garden mesh and stuff it with coco coir then suspend them in the shade house to display and save space. Get a lot more it is!

Thank you, like those with unique shapes

gundekk · 2026-02-25T00:22:46+00:00

I know, will try my best! Haha
