Platycerium Hillii is closely related to P.bifurcatum. In its purest form P. hillii has wide and deep green fertile fronds with few hairs. The shields are rounded along the top edge, without lobes or even undulations. They grow back flat against the plaque, not forming a nest of debris like P.bifurcatum.
Growth habit is somehow smaller than other varieties but eventually forming a large solid ball in many years.
Bring outdoors when night temp.is above 50F.
