It is common for pot-grown Platycerium to become leggy as the rhizome gradually extends beyond the potting medium. When this happens, the plant may dry out more quickly.
This can be easily managed by mounting up the plant. Mounting provides better support and allows the Platycerium to continue growing in a form closer to its natural habit.
If your potted Platycerium is becoming leggy, it may be telling you that it is ready to be mounted.
