Platycerium elephantotis develops tall arching sterile fronds between 18"-24" and distinctly veined round fertile fronds between 24"-30" at maturity, giving it the common name Elephant Ear Staghorn. This fern does best when kept evenly moist, and needs more shade than most species. If you notice their fronds start to droop, it is time to water! Ideal location is in filtered shade and high humidity. Best if kept above 60F, will tolerate brief periods of slightly lower temps but will incur damage below 40F.
