- Welcome to a private tour of a Taiwanese rare platycerium collector by the name of Huang Shi Jie. This topic is broken down into 2 episodes so as not to overwhelm you.
In the todays episode, we tour his extremely rare and expensive platycerium collection. We unravel the mysteries of their origins and why their excruciatingly high price tags are justified. Feast your eyes on the beautiful, diverse and unique platyceriums in this episode while getting to know their names. I felt very lucky to have this opportunity to view and film these rare platyceriums as only a handful of collectors in the world has them.
At the end of the episode,
In the next episode, we dive really deep into the care of these magnificent treasures (including his controversial method of using 24 hours artificial light). Our generous host divulges every little detail about how to grow these platyceriums into show-quality specimens. I was surprised to know that most of these platyceriums do not favor hot and humid tropical climates such as one that I live in. Do not miss out the end of the episode, when our master propagate a platycerium for us!
I promise you will come out of these 2 episodes with newfound respect and immense knowledge for the platycerium - perhaps, you might even gain confidence to pick one up to try!
Special thanks to our knowledgable translator Alvin who will be taking us around Taiwan in the many upcoming episodes!

I am only familiar with Platycerium bifurcatum. I am so happy to see all these beautiful cultivars and looking forward to the next video on culture of these amazing plants. I am especially interested in the different mounting methods shown in the video and propagation. Thanks again, Sean for a great video. You open up a whole new world of plants for me!
Thank you. Im learning about mounting and care too! Will share what I’ve learnt soon
I've got my very first staghorn fern. No idea of exact species, but he's been in my care for 6 months. Things are going good. I share my love of plants to wonderful people.
They are quite underrated beings ❤️
I love plantyceriums too. My collection is small, about 15 but they are the common ones I can find in Florida USA. They are very beautiful plants.
I have about 4-5 common platyceriums too 😀
Congratulations to the owners of this incredible beautiful collection of platyceriums.. thanks Sean for this new experience

Sean, if you wanna go to the Philippines, there is a museum in Antipolo that has an arboretum with all native species. You can look up Pinto Art Museum arboretum hehe.
Omg this looks like a place to visit! Thanks for the share!
謝謝Sean分享
🙏🏽不客气
Wow!!! Really rare ... Look at their prices !! 😮
😅😅
Thanks for sharing the tips for those precious platy. Those dwarf ones becomes trend at my country even our climate is quite humid for silvery platy. By added more red light, I will give a try to push my veitchii growth :D
😀😀 hope it works better! Do share your results!
I CAN HONESTLY SEE A MOST STUNNING PHOTOGRAPHIC BOOK OF THESE MAGNIFICENT SPECIMENS
Maybe 3D printed ones in the future would be cute too!
2nd!!! Thanks for this info not a lot on these guys 😊
Yaye. Next weeks episode is the care! Its really interesting
I love Platycerium. I wish we could get a bigger choice in the UK.
I have a feeling these rare platyceriums will be available in more markets after many years of propagation. They have only been discovered/created recently. Give it time 😀 I for one cant wait until they become more affordable.
I’ve been so excited to see this and Sean, you did not disappoint! Loved it and can’t wait for the next video.
Yaye. We deep dive into care and propagation next! How fun
Wow 😍
Yaye ❤️
I collect Platycerium, but I’ve never seen anything like these in the states … I’m dying!!! 😅 I can’t wait until next week!!
Haha thank you. My mind was blown too.
my moosehorn fern thanks you for the information💚
❤️❤️
Boa tarde ❤ver as plantas de vocês são lindas destas nunca ve é a primeira vez só não entendo nada quê vocês falam
PARABÉNS gosto de ouvir porque vocês são muitos alegri mi falam um presente com uma muda
Sou Brasileira moro em Governador Valadares MG
Wow 😮 unique
Yeah when we thought we have seen it all…
OMG.....OMG......OMG...
SPEECHLESS
Me too🥹
I hope they become more common in the US! I've noticed that there isn't much variation
Most rare plants become common and affordable, they need sometime to trickle down into the market though
How is platycerium being priced and how rare is being identified?
Loved to watch, very interesting and do you have a video on Indonesia platycerium.
Nearly all the platyceriums here are from Indonesia, but I have not seen them in Indonesia. I will try to visit Indonesian collectors soon to see what they are growing here 😀
❤
🙏🏽❤️
Here I am with a follow up question lol. I also would like your advice on newborn pups. I have two elephant stags and they definitely have the small new growth sprouting (which tells me that it is the actual 'top' of the plant) but I do not have ANY basal fronds on these pups. They have multiple leaves of course, but no basal plate. Do they need to be a certain age to establish this? I wish you had an email to send pics to.
Do send pics to my insta @bo.tan.ist so I can see 😀
Stoghorn Fern sangat bergantung pada kondisi lingkungan penanamannya, saya yakin bila diletakan di luar ruangan dengan kondisi alam, dia akan memberikan pertumbuhan form yang berbeda lagi.. bisa jadi mengikuti DNA induk awal bila memang bukan dari hybrid spore..
Iya dia pertumbuhannya sesuai kondisi hidup nya
Love from Assam India bro 💓😎
❤️❤️
😍
❤️❤️
Hi Sean, just to double check, should it be Golden boy spore? Instead of sport?
Oooo I think they meant spore 😅
@@onlyplants how i wish i can visit ah jie and see his unicorn!! Haha, sean youbshould collect platycerium now. I quitted aroid and jist keep platycerium cos its easier to take care and the frond wity fingers are soooooo cute
I could never have these because the saran wrap would irritate me too much, lol 🤣
😅😅
I'm excited to see the next episode. I feel like the platycerium keeping community has a whole different hobby from the houseplant community and the orchid community.
Yes it is its own niche. Although we are seeing more crossovers lately
Plant collector are getting a new hobby. We are all becoming plantycerium collectors. We go from one expensive hobby to the next 😂❤. I need a separate job to keep up with my plant needs. 😅
Unreal.
I know right 🥵😀
Hello my friend:) It has been a while since my last question. I have a bifucadum as well as two elephant pups. My question is how and where can I expect a new base frond, nice and green, to start growing after the existing one is all brown> I ask because I want to mount them but m a bit scared to interrupt its growth. Should I wait until a new layer of base is established?
It will come out from the center of the frond, the same place where the fertile fronds sprout.. I would not change the environment for now, give it good care and wait for the new frond to emerge.
@@onlyplants Thank you so much for the speedy reply! I really appreciate that:) I will do as you suggest.
Why the plastic wrap on the mound? I've never seen that before.
The air can dry out the moss too quickly 😀
@@onlyplants ah got it! Thank you for your response and the videos. What a treat!!!
I just had a stag-horn-gasm!!! 🤤
😅😅
Where
This was in Taiwan 😀
Me imagino que ésos cuernos de ciervo deben tener un tratamiento especial y unas técnicas que no son las que usan en cualquier vivero , debe ser como los atletas de alta competición, ho los culturistas que usan algun fármaco ho mejor dicho algún esteroides para plantas, lo imagino por lo bien conservado y perfectos que se ben, no hay de otras,saludos.
❤️😀
Sad Taiwan do not have native Platycerium, all come from Southeast Asia, Papua, Australia, Madagascar Central Africa and South America. and also Arowana fish most of them the best in Malaysia(Peninsular) and Indonesia(Borneo West Kalimantan) but Taiwan have many beautiful fern plant unique to Taiwan.
Oh yes, Taiwan actually have some interesting native flora.
Berpa suhu di sana??
Bisa 10 kalo winter, 28 kalo summer 😀
I just got a Bacteria and Jade Girl in the US. $500 each 😩 totally worth it though.
Whoaaaa glad to see they made it to the states! 😀
I wish I had 200K to piss away on a plant, fucking ridiculous. I wonder how many starving kids that could have fed.
Omg these dont look real
I know right. From another planet 😀
