Do you forget to water houseplants? Its your perfect plant!

❤️ Do you forget to water houseplants? It's your perfect plant!

  • 🍊 Chlorophytum orchidanteroides - Mandarin Plant - is one of the most popular and colorful house plants and a shade garden favorite.

  • 🍊 It forms a gorgeous rosette of shiny, dark green pointed leaves with a glowing orange center. Sometimes the rich hues shift to pink or orange up the leaf's midrib, giving this plant a truly eye-catching look.

  • 🍊 A colorful cousin of the familiar Spider Plant, it can be grown in pots, mixed containers, or as a specimen shrub in shady tropical landscapes, tolerating similar indoor conditions as a Spider Plant.

  • 🍊 For the brightest colors, remove any basal sprouts that appear, so they don't crowd out the vivid growth.

  • 🍊 This plant doesn't like full sun, and prefers its soil to dry slightly before watering, making it an easy-care and stunning choice for anyone looking to add a splash of color to their indoor collection.

😱 Finally - the first image on Internet: rare ginger Borneo Pink (New Guinea)

  • ❤️ Riedelia coralina - Coral Ginger Borneo Pink (New Guinea)

  • ❤️ This super rare ginger finally bloomed for us! We grew this rare specimen from seeds form the collection of Mark Hooten, S. Florida horticulturist. The species close related to Burbidgea. Riedelia coralina is so rare that published information about this exact species is extremely hard to find. Most references to it appear in specialized collector circles rather than in widely available horticultural or botanical literature.

  • ❤️ We have only a few plants, ginger collectors, hurry up!

It is so rare you can't even find images on Internet. This will be the first one!
