鹿角蕨屬多年生草本，原產於新幾內亞及澳洲的多芽型鹿角蕨，葉有兩型。營養葉為盾狀，營養葉較容易變為咖啡色再長出嫩綠的營養葉，以此循環，生長強健；帶狀葉為胞子葉，是鹿角蕨中孢子葉較為硬挺的種類。

A perennial and multi-bud staghorn fern in the genus Platycerium, native to South East Asia. It bears two types of fronds – basal and fertile fronds. Shield-shaped basal fronds grow vigorously contributed by the cycle that young fronds thrive right after old ones turn brown. Strap-shaped fertile fronds are harder in texture than other staghorn species.

種植於全日照散射環境下生長較為快速，在半日照也可以生長，夏天需注意通風及遮陰，由於生長在熱帶地區，冬天要注意保暖。水分充足情況下，生長快速，較容易生側芽。

The plant grows faster in full day scattering sunlight, moderately partial shade half day sun, with good ventilation and shading in summer. As a native tropic plant, it should be kept warm in winter. It grows faster with enough water supply and thus is more likely to grow lateral buds.

特殊的型態深受喜愛，常用於表現花藝、景觀設計作品中，亦或在居家栽培中懸掛在高牆上做為壁飾植栽。

Its unique look makes it a popular ornamental plant widely used in floral design works or mounted on a wall as a domestic ornamental.
