鹿角蕨屬多年生草本，原產於東南亞地區的單芽型鹿角蕨，葉分二型。營養葉高聳直立上半部分裂，表面絨毛不易脫落，所以外觀較為銀白，可作為辨識特徵；分岔較多的帶狀葉為孢子葉，孢子葉開始分叉後呈現一長一短的不對稱葉型，短片上揚，長片下垂狀。

A perennial and single-bud staghorn fern in the genus Platycerium, native to South East Asia. It bears two types of fronds – basal and fertile fronds. Basal fronds are tall and erect, dichotomous on the upper part. The villi grown on the front are tightly attached so it appears silver white which is a distinctive feature. Strap-shaped fronds developing more bifurcation are fertile fronds which divides into two asymmetric and disproportional lobes; the short one grows upright while the long one droops.

全日照散射環境種植下生長較為快速，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。繁殖常採用孢子繁殖，由於是單芽型鹿角蕨，較少出現側芽。

The plant grows faster in full day scattering sunlight and requires ventilation and shade in summer. As a native tropic plant, it should be kept warm in winter. Usually propagated by spores. It’s a single-bud staghorn so less 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.
