• Imported in 2021 from sustainably propagated stock.
• Reaches 40-50cm tall.
• Grows deep in rocky crevices in its natural habitat which is why its tuber is planted deep inside a tall, terracotta pot.

Growth pattern: Tuberous single petiole with one leaf. Leaf falls off in winter dormancy. Will resume in spring.

Water: Allow to dry out between waterings. Almost no water during dormancy.

Ideal Position: East facing

Light: Bright, indirect light.

Humidity disclaimer: This plant will grow well outside of a terrarium or cabinet. However, all tropical plants thrive with higher humidity levels. To achieve this we suggest grouping plants together, or putting them in a bathroom or kitchen which gets regular use.

Please note: Terracotta pot not included.
