Well, who can argue with a nitpicker?
I fell asleep half way thru your post.....................!

The proper botanical term is "epiphyte".

None of the dictionaries on-line that provide a definition for "aerophyte"
were botanical ones. They made allowances for use of the word by botanical
illiterates like Peter Stupidus.

BTW, "aerophyte" is not a class in the botanical sense either.

Again Cereus-Epiphitus plunges headlong into the abyss of ignorance, and
there he lies twitching and squawking and trying to convince us all that
he
knows the meaning of "aerophytes".
Of course if he did a Google search on "aerophytes" BEFORE he shoves his
foot down his throat he would discover they are a CLASS of plants.
The only thing growing on aeroplanes at this moment is the volume of
raucous
laughter as the occupants therein read the last post (with a bugle
commentary) of our Cereus.Insanus.
chortle! chortle!

And what is an "aerophytes" supposed to be?

A plant that grows on aeroplanes?

You are showing your lack of botanical knowledge again, Pity Pete.

Platycerium are epiphytic.

You are the one that should be hanging on a wall.

Why don't you replant the poor thing? The pot is too small.
It looks like one of those aerophytes that should be hanging on a

wall.
