Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range I (60-83°F). Will look best mounted... and even better if you can find its naturally occurring symbiont Platycerium madagascariense ...and pair them up as shown in the photo. Otherwise select a wood basket when big enough. Till then, avoid any root disturbance. Even mature plants with many backbulbs have been killed by injury to roots or rhizome. Resist dividing.
 
Comments: Parent plant: Large plant.

Flask Information
Availability: We have sold all of the flasks for this item.
You should: Consider getting individual plants or compots instead of a flask.
You can place a "Notify Flask Recipients" Request, and either we or a flask recipient may contact you when plants are available.

You may also place a "Notify Retries" Request, and if an identical pollination (the same parents) is done again, we'll let you know.

You may reserve a flask, but it's very unlikely you'll get one ...this could only happen if we found a flask that we didn't know we had.
Yield Estimate: 670 plants (based on flask surveys done 12/29/2004 through 01/31/2005)
Yield estimates are only approximate, but may appear to be fairly exact numbers because they are a combination of large rough estimates in remaining mother flasks and more accurate small estimates in reflasks.
Plantlet Sizes: From many flasks 10 - 130 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 12/29/2004 through 06/22/2005)
From one most recently surveyed flask 70 - 120 mm (06/22/2005)
