Platycerium willinckii "Yellow Moon" (OG) RARE tropical plants SEED STUDIO®
Platycerium willinckii 'Yellow Moon' is a must-have cultivar for the serious collector. Its standout features include finely textured fronds with a striking yellow hue that cascade gracefully. Among the Moon series, 'Yellow Moon' is the most captivating.
The plant you will receive is a pup from the mother plant shown in Photo 1. I acquired this mother plant from Jazz Fern in Taiwan three years ago. This pup is an original generation (OG) from the true 'Yellow Moon,' not a sporeling.
Photo 2 highlights the color contrast between 'Yellow Moon' and other silver Platycerium varieties in my collection.
The available pups are shown in Photo 3, and selection will be on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note, these pups are listed across multiple platforms and may also be sold offline. To check the latest availability, feel free to contact me directly. If preferred, I can personally select the best remaining pup for you based on my expertise.
Here’s a brief guide to the differences between a Platycerium pup (OG), tissue culture (TC), and sporelings:
Pups and TC plants generally retain the traits of their parent plants.
Sporelings, however, can show significant variation from their parents, which often makes them more affordable than TC or pups. That said, exceptional sporelings can develop unique traits. For example, the dwarf version of 'Yellow Moon' was selected from sporelings and is now valued higher than the standard 'Yellow Moon' in regions like Thailand, Taiwan, and Hong Kong.
After three years of dedicated collecting, growing, and considerable investment in acquiring Platyceriums from across Asia, I now own over 200 varieties, including different species, hybrids, and cultivars. Many of these are now mature and are starting to display their distinct features, with some even producing pups.
Moving forward, I will continue to share more rare and authenticated cultivars from my verified mother plants. Each plant I offer has been carefully grown and selected to ensure you receive a high-quality, genuine plant that will stand out in any collection—all while being within reach.
