An exceptional opportunity to secure a mature Madagascar rarity that is rarely offered for sale at this size in Australia. Up for sale is a single 5-year-old, seed-grown Uncarina roeoesliana (Succulent Sesame).
This specimen stands 19cm tall from the soil line. It features a beautifully structured, upright trunk showing a stout bonsai taper and the species' iconic pale, textured bark. The apex is in immaculate health, actively producing its distinct crown of velvet-textured, lobed leaves. At this mature size, it is fully ready to reward you with a prolific display of bright yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers during the warm growing seasons.
Care: Grows vigorously in warm weather. Requires an open, highly porous, gritty mineral mix. Place in bright indirect light to maximum full sun. Water thoroughly when bone-dry during spring and summer, and keep 100% dry in winter when it enters its brief deciduous rest period.
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
