Medinilla apoensis (Philippine Pink Medinilla) with pink flowers and lush green leaves close up

Medinilla apoensis - Philippine Pink is a rare and exceptionally beautiful Medinilla from the Philippines with vivid bright pink flower clusters held gracefully above its heavily veined tropical foliage. Unlike many Medinillas that rely mainly on colorful bracts, this species produces large showy flowers in elegant pendant clusters, creating a dramatic cascading display. Its lush foliage and graceful growth habit make it one of the most striking collector plants for patios, greenhouses, or bright indoor spaces. Prefers warm temperatures, bright filtered light, good humidity, and fast-draining soil.

Leaves of this plant are very fragile and may be slightly damaged during transportation which does not hurt new growth. Trim as needed and more new leaves will grow.
