Copiapoa sp. – "grandiflora black stem" seed lot
Seed-grown by me from Mesa Garden seed approximately 5½ years ago. Originally sold as Copiapoa grandiflora black stem.
A striking dark-bodied plant with black central spines and a compact growth habit. Healthy, established specimen grown hard under Australian conditions.
The plant has not yet flowered and I am not certain the original name is correct, but it is an attractive and distinctive Copiapoa regardless.
Plant shown is the actual plant for sale.
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
