Also now as Ceratostema villosa
It is a captivating plant species renowned for its dense and velvety foliage. With its elongated leaves covered in fine hairs, it creates a soft and textured appearance. The vibrant red or purple flowers that emerge from the foliage add a pop of color to its overall allure. Found in high-elevation regions, this plant thrives in cool and moist environments.
I’ve taken to the wonky unusual plants of late as I pretty much have all the Aroids (well, many many). This plant is growing in my living room in roughly 55 to 58% ambient humidity. Light is indirect from a south window, blinds down, with supplemental grow lights. I keep it wet per Don Ivan, and it’s doing really well. I have a Zamorana next to it and it’s also doing just as well.
I am so thrilled with this plant. It arrived healthy and is bigger than I thought it would be.
Well I'm hoping that it will acclimate because one of the leaves is turning crunchy ...
I received my plant today. I knew these wouldn’t be actually Kunzo White Monsters but figured it would at least be a mint. It’s not. It’s a low variegation Thai con. Absolutely not the plants shown in the image. This is blatant false advertising.
