Staghorn Fern, Platycerium

NOTE: Don't think your stag is sick or has a disease when you see brown fuzzy patches appear on the bottom side of the tips of older larger fertile fronds. These are the spores. Leave them alone :-)

Mike, just maybe the scale bugs got onto the Platy from the Tabernaemontana. You how these bugs multiply when the air flow is bad.

Coming to your fuzzy brown patches, if you walk under a big specimen, careful that no one knocks the fronds or you are gonna have a spore rain coming onto you!
