Platycerium alcicorne cv. Gorgon - ALG-01

Platycerium alcicorne cv. ‘Gorgon’

Originally developed by a Japanese grower and selected from a spore-propagated batch of P. alcicorne, ‘Gorgon’ is a captivating cultivar named after the mythical Gorgon of Greek legend. Its antler fronds form intricate, curling tips that twist and wave like Medusa’s serpentine hair, giving it a bold, sculptural presence. Vibrant green fertile fronds contrast beautifully with its layered shield fronds, adding texture and depth over time.

Easy to grow with proper light and care, ‘Gorgon’ rewards patience with a distinctive form that becomes increasingly impressive as it matures — an ideal choice for collectors seeking rarity and dramatic beauty in their staghorn fern display.

This plant is an offshoot from a mature plant. There is an emerging pup growing on the base, and it can be potted or mounted once fertile frond reaches ~1.5"— perfect for collectors who want a head start.
