Platycerium ‘Unicorn’

Taiwanese nursery Ajin’s Garden describes short, broad, rounded fertile fronds whose tips curve upward as the plant matures. The fronds have a dense covering of white hairs that can have a faint bluish cast.

Haruhana, a specialist staghorn nursery in Taiwan, raises offspring from spores of its Unicorn plant. These sporelings develop individual variation and should retain their sporeling designation.

Unicorn appears in the publisher’s contents for ビカクシダ2, a Japanese horticultural book supervised by Eiichi Nomoto and released by Kasakura Publishing on 28 September 2023.

Ajin’s Garden uses 獨角獸鹿角蕨 for P. Unicorn.

The publisher’s contents for ビカクシダ2 use ユニコーン.

Sabrina Wang of Haruhana reports that Unicorn originated in Thailand and that Mr. Nook of Tonkla Ferntastic Garden still holds the original mother plant.
