Default Re: platycerium!

Rich and Ed, Go for it!
Ed - Don't wait for spores on your young plants - visit friends/nurseries/gardens and just ask, most people are willing to let you take spores for free! Just do a little reading first so you know at what stage to collect them.
Rich - shipping little baby sporelings would probably be tricky as the plants are pretty 'fragile' until they get a bit bigger. Any drying out and they really suffer! But as I said, it's not hard to grow them from spores, just takes a commitment not to forget to mist them.
You will both be amazed at how good it feels to raise these plants from spores instead of buying big, expensive plants (which, here in Asia at least, are usually just ripped from the jungle).
