Captive breeding / propagation

The offspring of Pachyseris involuta are possible. Unfortunately, the number of offspring is not large enough to cover the demand of the trade. If you are interested in Pachyseris involuta, please ask your dealer for offspring. If you already own Pachyseris involuta, try breeding yourself. This will help to improve the availability of offspring in the trade and to conserve natural stocks.

Similar Species: Pachyseris foliosa has a similar growth form but valleys are shallower and longer and there is no tendency for centres to be irregularly distributed along valleys. Pachyseris rugosa may form fronds and valleys of similar shape, but fronds are bifacial and the columella wall is conspicuous
