Platycerium Wallichii is named after Nathaniel Wallich, the Director of the Calcutta Botanical Gardens for 30 years. It has a tall, spreading shield with prominent veins on the upper surface. In the wild, P. Wallichii can grow quite large, about 1m3, but in nurseries it is much smaller. P. Wallichii has an extreme dormancy period, with the shield drying out and turning brown, and the antennae becoming wrinkled. Keeping them through the dormancy period safely requires a lot of water and temperature control. When introduced to areas with warm, humid climates and mild winters, P. Wallichii tend to be less dormant.
Note: The above information is only relative, the living conditions of the tree also depend a lot on other objective factors.
