£10.99
- An upright, epiphytic perennial to approximately 50cm, with glossy dark green leaves. Waxy pink heart-shaped spathes with pink spadices are produced periodically throughout the year.
- Sold in a 12cm nursery pot
- Light: Best grown in a bright but indirect light as the leaves are prone to scorching in direct sunlight
- Watering: In the growing season water freely and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser.
- Humidity: Filtered light, constant temperature (min 16°C) and high humidity are required in summer.
- Additional care advice: Plant with the crowns just above the surface and cover with moss to prevent the uppermost roots from drying out. Grow under glass or indoors epiphytically in a mix of 1 part fibrous loam, 1 part coarse sand and 2-3 parts leaf mould with a little charcoal. Full light is required in winter. Can be grown outdoors epiphytically in a warm, moist site or in moist, coarse, humus-rich soil. Propagate by seed sown at 24-27°C as soon as ripe; seeds can take months to germinate. Propagate by division in winter. As this plant is protected by Plant Breeders' Rights, any propagation should be for personal rather than commercial use. No pruning required. May be susceptible to leaf spot.
