Up for sale is a single rooted cutting of Copiapoa cinerescens, taken two seasons ago and now thoroughly established on its own root network.
This plant is a vegetative clone taken directly from a mature mother plant originally sourced from the legendary Australian author and authority, Rudolf Schulz, over 20 years ago. It carries verified collection provenance that is irreplaceable in Australia.
It is completely stable, fully acclimated to local conditions, and features the classic chalky grey-green epidermis wrapped in dense, robust spine clusters.
Care: Use a high-mineral, ultra-gritty substrate with high airflow. Keep in maximum bright light to encourage the classic chalky skin tone and maintain its tight, compact shape. Water very sparingly.
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
