Den antennatum has seed pods

I love that plant! It is just beautiful. i really wish I knew how to flask. It would be a neat forum project to flask them and eventually pass them out. Would if I could.

Awesome plant Susan!!! Well done growing it so well!

How much cold has it ever seen? I want to grow this species here mounted outside but have heard its very cold sensitive to anything below 45-50F.

Thank you very much in advance!

Hello Kostas! It does like the heat. I bring it inside for temps below 50. It is huge, so that is a challenge. It started growing in an 8 inch wood basket many years ago. When it over grew the basket, I turned it sideways and treated it like a mount. At this point it has covered the entire basket except the back, which is against the wall. It is all roots. I don't water it nearly as often as my other plants. It is totally different than taking care of a small plant of the same kind. I think this species can be very difficult to grow when small, but after they get big they take care of themselves. Very little fertilizer or water. No direct sun, but lots of indirect light. Warm temps and it will bloom almost continuously. Good luck, it is an awesome species and I am very attached to mine.

Thank you very much for your reply and information Susan! It helps a lot! I will try a couple and see how they do for me

I agree. You've done a wonderful job growing this plant. It's the most impressive antennatum I've ever seen! I've got some seedlings, just over a year out of the flask, and they are really healthy and doing well, but it will be many years before they will look even half as nice as yours! Thanks so much for sharing the great photos.
Cheers,
Tony
