There are many companion plants that I grow along with my orchids. In particular, I have several plants of platycerium superbum growing with my orchids. These ferns are sometimes called staghorn ferns. The typical variety does look like deer antlers, but the superbum species grows a shield frond with a crown. The supebum is spectacular when mature. The plants that I have are still very young, so they are not that impressive yet, but I can wait. The photo on the right is my oldest superbum. It's starting to look like what a mature one looks like. Check out Rainforestflora for pictures of mature platycerium ferns. They are located in Torrance, CA.
