Disterigma tubulosa

Disterigma tubulosa

A distinctive flowering shrub with slender, tubular blooms that hang beneath the branches. Its delicate flowers and naturally arching form bring understated charm to a humid, sheltered growing space.

  • Light: Bright, indirect light or filtered shade. Protect from intense midday sun.
  • Temperature: Cool to intermediate-growing; aim for 55–75°F (13–24°C), with cooler nights and protection from frost and prolonged heat.
  • Humidity: Provide moderate to high humidity, ideally 60–80%, with gentle air circulation.
  • Watering: Keep the growing medium evenly moist but never waterlogged. Use an airy, acidic mix with excellent drainage; rainwater or low-mineral water is preferable.
  • Growth Habit: A branching shrub with slender, arching stems. Allow room for the branches to spread naturally; a moss pole is not needed.

Additional Notes:

Small, glossy green leaves are complemented by coppery new growth. Choose a sheltered position with stable moisture, and avoid heavy potting mixes that stay saturated around the roots.
