- Abandoned to Abundant:
A Plant Pathologist turned a 30-Year-old abandoned Hostel into a Staghorn Sanctuary with 7000+ Platycerium Plants. All just started out because of pure passion and love for Platycerium as an enthusiast. We're gonna ask Dr Chong of how he cultivate his Platycerium and also make it widely available for sale in Malaysia Horticulture Market!

Thanks so much!! It really propels me to create more!
great video, nice that Dr. Chong showed the process of growing them from spore! I want you to find some ant plant growers for a future video ;)
Thank you, definitely will do more in the future. =)
My favourite so far! Such an interesting and informative interview. I've been growing from spore in the UK and information is so hard to come by. This is so inspiring Thank you 😊 xx
Thank you for watching and glad you love it!
Great episode! Your channel has inspired me to grow platyceriums ..I just mounted my first one..using the information you provided on one of your episodes. Thanks for the inspiration
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
Fantastic video, learned so much as to what it takes to get them to a good size that we buy. Now understand the pricing better.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
Very inspiring 👍
thank you!
Thanks for really giving an idea of the process of growing from spores! I don't know if I'll ever try it with my own, but knowing what goes into it only makes me appreciate mine more 😄 Will add more than my current 2 to the collection in the future, more species on my wishlist than I can reasonably fit on my walls 😆
Thank you for watching!!!
Sehr schöner Beitrag, ich bekomm es nicht hin mit dem Geweihfarn.
Love this video.. I saw some seeds last year and recently. It is difficult to find valid and fresh seeds here in Europe. (My first patch of 4 kinds all grew small plants, but then thrips killed them all. Now I'm starting all over. Would love to see the private collection of Dr Chong
Stay tuned for more ! Dr Chong house plant tour!
Thank you for this video. Please feature COLOCASIA varieties of Indonesia in your next episodes
We will!
@@aloneinoasis Thank you 😊
Hi Lone, thanks for this episode .. it's really informative! Started to collect them in 2023 but I m still new to platycerium. I have some questions and hope that you could help answering them:
1) I usually spray seaweed fertiliser and/or foliage fertiliser on their fronds and the inner part (behind the wooden board). Is this the correct way of doing?
2) I have 1 species (don't know the name) with a pup taken out. I placed the pup in a covered container to provide more humid environment for it to thrive. It has been in there for more than 3 months but it has not been growing fast and some small fronds withered and new ones came out. Should I place it outside i.e. out of the container ?
3) I have a matured Grande (i think), but it has not been doing well lately. I can see many ants inside the inner part and the fronds within all dried up turned crispy, some part of the basal fronds turning black, and it stopped growing. I m wondering is Dr Chong able to help diagnose what problem with it? Perhaps I can visit him with my platycerium?
Thank you so much for your time to watch the video!!
1) It would be more effective if you submerge the platy in diluted seaweed fertilizer.
2) The pup will thrive better in evenly moist media and grow in better light condition. Also, freshly mounted pup takes longer time to acclimatize.
3) Hmm. Grandae need a lot of light to thrive. They cannot do well under partly shade environment. Ants are co-exist with platycerium, it shouldnt be a problem. Unless there are aphids and other pest problem ya.
Hi, I recently bought a platycerium superbum. It hasn’t developed fertile fronds yet; it only has three shield fronds and the newest one is only 3 inches in diameter. I’m having trouble figuring out the orientation in order to mount it.
Hey!! You can look at the other video of mine. How to Mount Platycerium on Board. I did a brief about the orientation of Staghorn tho.
I want to visit his farm in Malaysia.😊
Just DM him! He is always welcome.
alias Platycerium 😎🤟🤟
Thanks, Do you know how old has to be the pup to starting producing new pups?
Hello! It usually take a year, but it also very depending on the caring method too
Great collection.. possible to get the contact details of the grower.. want to contact and see the possibility of buying plants.
