They feature a cluster of rounded or heart-shaped sterile fronds, which may exhibit lobes along the upper edge, as well as upright or hanging fertile fronds that are typically branched multiple times and display a grey-green coloration.

Platycerium superbum is a perennial, epiphytic fern characterized by its substantial, upright fronds that are rounded to kidney-shaped and exhibit deep lobing in a grey-green hue. The plant also produces elongated, hanging, wedge-shaped fertile fronds that are forked and have a leathery texture, presenting a vibrant green color.

Platycerium veitchii is a perennial epiphytic fern characterized by its robust, grey-green fronds that are densely coated with a white, fuzzy layer, resembling the texture of antlers, which is the origin of its common name. The upper portions of the fronds extend into slender, elongated fingers. Increased light exposure enhances the silvery hue of the fronds. In their natural habitat, these ferns thrive on rocky surfaces and exhibit strong drought resistance. This species is well-suited for terrarium settings.
