Ceratostema gualaquizensis var. laciniata Culture:
Light:Prefers bright, filtered light (similar to dappled forest sunlight); avoid harsh midday sun to prevent leaf scorch but ensure sufficient light for flowering.
Temperature:Thrives in cool to intermediate conditions (18–24°C / 64–75°F daytime, 10–15°C / 50–59°F nighttime), benefiting from a slight nocturnal drop to mimic its high-altitude cloud forest origins.
Humidity:Requires high humidity (70–80%), achievable via humidifiers, pebble trays, or enclosed environments like terrariums.
Watering:Keep the substrate consistently moist but never waterlogged, reducing slightly in cooler months; use rainwater or distilled water if tap water is hard.
Additional Notes:
Mimicking its natural cool, humid, and airy habitat is key to success!
My original order was unfortunately no longer available but I was contacted and a replacement quickly shipped! And thanks to excellent packaging the plant was delivered in pristine condition. Will order again!

Monstera adansonii variegada Darnell
The monstera adansonii variegada arrived sick, faded and wrinkled.
The philodendron ring of fire arrived well packaged and sufficiently watered. It's a beautiful specimen! I can not wait for it to grow and show off it's wonderful colors.
