Discovering Taiwan's Spectacular Rare Platycerium Collection @shijak0526 | Staghorn fern tour

Welcome to a private tour of a Taiwanese rare platycerium collector by the name of Huang Shi Jie. This topic is broken down into 2 episodes so as not to overwhelm you.

In the todays episode, we tour his extremely rare and expensive platycerium collection. We unravel the mysteries of their origins and why their excruciatingly high price tags are justified. Feast your eyes on the beautiful, diverse and unique platyceriums in this episode while getting to know their names. I felt very lucky to have this opportunity to view and film these rare platyceriums as only a handful of collectors in the world has them.

At the end of the episode,

In the next episode, we dive really deep into the care of these magnificent treasures (including his controversial method of using 24 hours artificial light). Our generous host divulges every little detail about how to grow these platyceriums into show-quality specimens. I was surprised to know that most of these platyceriums do not favor hot and humid tropical climates such as one that I live in. Do not miss out the end of the episode, when our master propagate a platycerium for us!

I promise you will come out of these 2 episodes with newfound respect and immense knowledge for the platycerium - perhaps, you might even gain confidence to pick one up to try!

Special thanks to our knowledgable translator Alvin who will be taking us around Taiwan in the many upcoming episodes!
