Available in Bundles
This plant is also available in the following bundles.
A particularly unusual and heavily tuberculate form of Pseudolithos cubiformis, selected for its pronounced, irregular “dragon skin” texture.
These seedlings were grown from seed produced by an exceptionally warty mother plant (pictured) in my collection. The seedlings are already showing excellent development of the same distinctive characteristics, with some displaying very impressive texture for their size.
Growing: Use a very free-draining, gritty/mineral-based succulent mix. Water thoroughly during warm active growth, allowing the mix to dry completely between watering. Keep considerably drier during cool weather. Provide bright light, but protect from strong afternoon summer sun.
Shipping: This plant will be sent bare-root.

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
