Platycerium Madagascariense - Ep120

[@amandanathania]

This is by far the most simple yet comprehensive explanation about Madagascariense found in the internet so far. I've killed 4 and now on my fifth one, gonna try your tips since I'm also growing it in ultra low land, but after 4 failed attempt growing them outdoor, now I'm moving mine indoor, with LED light and a fan.

Thank you. All the best in the mada journey!

Awesome video bro! Great tips. What would you recommend the humidity stay at? And how much light? Thank you!

[@TheRootCulturist]

I’m growing them at 80-90% RH. Although, I believe you can get away with lowering it by 10% (I.e 70-90%) range. Will check the Lux reading and update. It’s on dappled light grown at the side of led lights.

@@TheRootCulturist awesome! Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@TheRootCulturist]

The Lux is around 5000-5800.

I find the mady pretty easy to grow, 55-60% RH, only water the medium not the plant, let it dry, dilute fertiliser every week, keep inside if it get colder than 15c, I actually find high humidity makes it hard to grow due to more prone to fungus invasion

[@TheRootCulturist]

Thank you for sharing. That’s interesting. Are you growing then outdoors? Which part of the world are you at? Would like to see the yearly temperature and climate trend.

@@TheRootCulturist outdoors summer, indoors winter, Perth Western Australia

[@TheRootCulturist]

Nice! In the summer the days are hotter but the nights are cool. Quite different from Singapore. Used to study there it was a nice place.

[@safuwanfauzi5014]

grown indoor, these are highland plant, similar to ridleyi they do not like much water, watering and wait until dry or semi dry, indoor with light or aircondition similar to native habitat.@@TheRootCulturist

@safuwanfauzi5014 just using their native environment then they are found in moist cool forest and should not be left to dry out.
