Mature · © Haruhana · All rights reservedFlamenco is generally easy to grow and adapts well to ordinary staghorn care. Water the mount thoroughly, let excess water drain, and allow the mounting material to dry before watering again.
Give it bright filtered daylight, such as a bright window with strong sun softened by a sheer curtain. Avoid midsummer direct sun and keep air moving around the crown and mount.
Keep it warm through winter; aim for at least 15°C (59°F).
Haruhana describes its Flamenco plants as single-crowned, without lateral pups.

Haruhana and Vandaka Plants describe Flamenco as a hybrid involving Platycerium hillii and P. coronarium.
Haruhana, a Taiwanese nursery, sells batches of young Flamenco plants. Its stock photographs, together with Johnny Lee’s report that the nursery does not use tissue culture, support identifying these as sporelings. Sporelings are genetically new offspring. Vandaka Plants, a Japanese plant nursery, also offers tissue-cultured stock and identifies the pictured source plant for those plants. Tissue-cultured accessions should retain their donor-line documentation.
