Platycerium bifurcatum 'Netherlands'

Platycerium bifurcatum 'Netherlands' is a cultivated staghorn fern with greyish-green lobed fronds and an epiphytic growth style. It can grow mounted on wood or in a hanging basket, with flat shield fronds covering the base and forked fertile fronds extending outward.

The shield fronds naturally turn brown as they mature. They stay attached around the root area, while the forked fertile fronds form the antler-like upper growth.

Shield and Forked Fronds on Platycerium bifurcatum 'Netherlands'

  • Fertile fronds: Forked, antler-like fronds with a grey-green tone and soft felted surface.
  • Shield fronds: Flat basal fronds cover and protect the root area.
  • Natural browning: Mature shield fronds turn brown and remain part of the plant.
  • Growth habit: Can be grown mounted, in hanging baskets or in very airy pot culture.
  • Pups: Older plants can produce offsets and build a fuller colony over time.

Mounted Growth of Platycerium bifurcatum 'Netherlands'

Platycerium bifurcatum is an epiphytic fern in the Polypodiaceae family, native from parts of Malesia and Australia to nearby Pacific islands. In nature, staghorn ferns grow attached to trunks or branches, using the surface for anchoring while organic material collects around the shield fronds.

'Netherlands' is a cultivated form of Platycerium bifurcatum with greyish-green, lobed fronds. The root area needs moisture, drainage and airflow around the shield-frond base.

Mounting and Basket Care for Platycerium bifurcatum 'Netherlands'

  • Light: Bright filtered light to partial shade keeps the forked fronds firm; harsh direct sun can scorch them.
  • Water: Water the root area thoroughly, then let it dry slightly before watering again.
  • Mounting: Mounted plants need water through the moss or root pad, not only over the fronds.
  • Basket culture: Use a very airy epiphyte-style medium so water drains around the shield base.
  • Air movement: Gentle airflow around the base reduces black spot and rot risk in humid conditions.
  • Pruning: Leave brown shield fronds attached because they protect the growing base.

Shield and Root Issues on Platycerium bifurcatum 'Netherlands'

  • Brown shield fronds: Mature shields naturally brown and should remain on the plant.
  • Base rot: Wet, stagnant material around the shield base can damage roots and rhizome tissue.
  • Black spot: High humidity with poor air movement can mark the fronds.
  • Pests: Scale, spider mites, aphids and mealybugs can settle on stressed plants.
  • Dry root pad: Mounted plants can dry faster than potted plants and need water through the base.

Safety for Platycerium bifurcatum 'Netherlands'

Platycerium bifurcatum is considered non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses. Keep it away from pets that chew plants.

Botanical Background of Platycerium bifurcatum 'Netherlands'

The species was first published by Cavanilles as Acrostichum bifurcatum in 1799 and later placed in Platycerium by Carl Christensen in 1906. The genus name Platycerium comes from Greek roots meaning flat horn, and the species epithet bifurcatum means twice forked.

My Dachshunds Love These
Size: Small
These balls are durable, flexible material, highly chewable without being easily destroyed. I stuff them with Milkbone Maro Snacks, which are just the right size to twist into the holes in the ball. My dogs literally get an hour+ chewing and chasing entertainment from these. They chew them, they sometimes 'pop' out of their mouths, go rolling across the floor, dogs chasing them. This satisfies their urge to hunt prey. Dachshunds can easily tear this kind of stuff-it-toy apart. These have lasted for a long time without tearing or shredding. I would NOT recommend them for a dog much larger than a tweenie weenie. They're a bit on the small side and might be swallowed by a larger dog. It would be cool it they also came in a larger size (and probably ball wall thickness also) for the bigger dogs to enjoy. These stuff-it chew balls are better than the kong balls my dogs had before these. Highly recommend them.

My puppy’s favorite fetch toy!
Size: Small
Update Aug 27, 2024: After 10 months, these are still his favorite ball. He’s obsessed with fetching and plays with them all day. They do bounce really high. Unfortunately, the small size aren’t available for sale anywhere anymore. I tried the medium size, and he has a bit of trouble hanging on to them, but he manages. Weirdly, he prefers the orange one, but he also plays with the blue one. My 7 month old Shih Tzu puppy loves to fetch, and these are his new favorites. They’re small enough to fit in his mouth, and they are made of hard plastic, so he’s able to hold on to them. They have a lot of bounce, and this adds to the fun for him. I highly recommend them.

Genuinely bummed that these great balls can’t stand up against my Chloè.
Size: Medium
I love all the Chuckit brand of balls. I found that the Strabo and glow balls in the Chuckit line are the softest, and as such, don't last as long as the rest of Chuckit line of balls. Having said that, they do last longer than than every other brand I've tried (and I do believe I’ve tried every brand available on the market today.) The strato balls do bounce higher than any of the other balls in the Chuckit line. They really are a good value.

Great dog balls at a great price
Size: Medium
The balls are a favorite for my dog. I could have done without the hole through the middle because I don't do treats in balls anyway. My dog loves balls for their own merit. I needed replacement balls for my Nerf Dog Ball launcher. It seems the originals have disappeared from the market. I took a chance because the price is right and this Chuck-it ball works very well so we're liking this ball a lot. So far my Dachsund, who can destroy a tennis ball (the kind they are selling as Nerf Dog replacements) in 3 minutes has not done any damage to this one so that's a win. I recommend this as a much better ball than the fuzzy tennis balls. I like the colors too since many dog toys are green (which gets lost in the lawn, etc.) or red (even though dogs have red/green color blindness. Blue and orange are good and pretty easy to find. I liked these well enough that this set was my second purchase so I will have spares in case the others are lost.

My Baby loves his new baby!
Size: Medium, Size: Medium
Finally! A ball my 107 lb. pitty/pointer mix can’t destroy. He has torn up every single “indestructible” toy in a day or so until now. He peels fabric and fur off non-rubber toys. He is a 4-legged shredder. I’ve added pictures of him for a size reference of my dog versus this product. I know I had wanted that when shopping for this item. This ball is now his beloved “baby.” He goes absolutely insane looking for it, chewing it, chasing it, and even sleeping with it. He won’t rest unless he knows exactly where it is. It is his only toy, and he is good with that. After getting this home, I tried giving him other choices, but he won’t touch them. I was worried that he would rip it apart by putting his teeth in the holes, but so far, not a scratch. It is soft enough to collapse just enough to keep it from cracking when his jaws crush it but not so soft that he can rip it to sheds. The holes are large enough to prevent a suction or vacuum effect on his tongue or mouth. For his size jaws, it is a perfect fit. Other dogs might have problems with suction or be able to get their teeth in those holes and rip it apart. Who knows? The older version of the Chuckit squeaky ball was his favorite for the year and a half he had it, but the way they make them now, he peels off the orange triangle in hours flat, the squeaker falls out (choking hazard), and then he rips it apart. I’m going to stock up on these. I can’t imagine how crazy he will be if they ever stop production or change the materials.
