Platycerium hillii dwarf - a dwarf form of the species hillii!! I've seen mature plants of this with fronds that are only about 8 or 10 inches tall, very perky, and often with prominent veins.

P. hillii is a wee bit less fuzzy than some more commonly grown species, and consequentially is reportedly less tolerant of very high light.  I can't say I've seen any issues with them under artificial light, however, at least under my conditions, but thought I'd toss out that note so you can be careful.  Other than that, pretty much grow it like a bifurcatum. 

Please note, mounted plant is shown for reference only, to illustrate what a mature plant can look like - it is not for sale.  

We are offering young plants in active growth, recently imported and rooting nicely in small pots of sphagnum. A perfect time to get established on a mount or basket, but these are equally happy in pots too! You will get one of the plants shown in the clear plastic pots, or one similar in size.

All plants are wrapped carefully for shipping. Plant may be shipped bare root at my discretion.  Safe arrival of buds and flowers not guaranteed.
