£13.99
- Sometimes called 'Rose Grape', 'Philipinne Orchid', 'Pink Lantern plant' or 'Chandelier tree', Medinilla magnifica is a small evergreen shrub native to the Philippines where it is usually found growing on trees in tropical forests
- In late spring to early summer, the plant is covered by drooping clusters of delicate pink flowers that look somewhat like grapes or wisteria flowers
- Tempurature: Provide a temperature of between 18-25ºC (64-77ºF) throughout the year, lowering the temperature slightly, but not below 15ºC (59ºF), during the winter period (November to January) or if in flower then after flowering has finished
- Water: Water well enough to thoroughly moisten compost during the growing season, allowing the top of the compost to dry 2cm down before repeating. During the rest period, water enough to stop the plant from drying out completely. Resume watering moderately in early-mid Spring when flower stalks become visible
- Light: These plants require bright light but should be shaded from the hottest sun.
- Repotting: In spring, re-pot into one size larger container taking care not to damage plant roots. The largest pot size that is practical is likely to be 10 inches, therefore top dress in spring with fresh compost
