It gets its name 'Elkhorn' from the long green fronds up to 90cm long that protrude from tightly wrapped \"nest leaves\". The fronds have the texture of soft velvet cloth and turn brown when they produce spores, the nest leaves also turn brown as they age and make way for a new leaf to grow over it, this process is part of the plants growth cycle. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eShop all Platycerium or learn more about this genus \u003ca title=\"Platycerium genus genera about care information.
