Up for grabs is an excellent, healthy seed-grown specimen of the highly sought-after collector pachycaul, Adenia venenata. Perfect for serious caudiciform, pachycaul, and exotic succulent enthusiasts.
This plant is past its fragile stage and is developing a beautiful, smooth grey-green upright caudex trunk. It is currently showing healthy active top growth with its characteristic vining tendrils.
Height: Approx. 16-17 cm tall (to the growth tip).
Caudex/Stem Base: Approx. 12 mm wide (measured precisely via digital calipers).
Potting Medium: Growing happily in a highly porous, premium volcanic rock/pumice mineral mix to ensure optimal root aeration and mimic its native East African environment.
Care Tips:
Requires very bright light or morning sun. Water thoroughly when the weather is warm and the medium completely dries out, then scale back watering significantly during cooler winter dormancy periods.
Care Instructions
Follow these detailed care instructions to keep your Elkhorn Fern thriving:
Mounting
Elkhorn ferns are epiphytic, meaning they naturally grow attached to trees. For best results:
- Mount on wood, cork, or similar materials
- Use sphagnum moss around the roots
- Secure with fishing line or plant-safe wire until established
Watering
Proper watering is crucial:
- Soak the root ball and shield fronds thoroughly when the moss feels dry
- Allow excess water to drain completely
- Reduce watering in winter
- Mist shield fronds occasionally
Light & Positioning
Place your fern where it receives:
- Bright, indirect light
- Protection from direct sun, especially midday
- Good air circulation
