🌸 How to Grow a Big, Swollen Caudex - a simple trick with big results:


Each time you repot, raise the plant slightly to expose more of the upper roots. This encourages new root growth downward and helps form a thicker, more dramatic caudex.
· Use a well-draining mix
· Water only when dry - Adeniums love dry conditions
· Feed with Sunshine Megaflor Booster that supports both caudex and blooms
· Grow best in filtered bright light

What is the rarest Tacca?

Tacca leontopetaloides - Green Bat Flower, Devil Flower

What is the rarest Tacca?

💚 Tacca leontopetaloides - Green Bat Flower, Devil Flower - is the rarest Tacca of them all!

💚 Move over Black and White - this is the green bat flower, and it's in a class of its own!

💚 Tacca leontopetaloides is a collector's dream and is rare in cultivation. With eerie greenish-purple flower clusters perched on tall stalks and long, trailing whisker-like bracts, this plant looks like something out of a botanical fairytale.

💚 Unlike its fussy cousins, the Green Bat Flower is surprisingly easy to grow. It thrives in shady or semi-shaded spots, comes back reliably each spring, and doesn’t mind a bit of neglect. Its glossy, deeply divided leaves die back in fall and return with vigor as the weather warms up. A well-draining pot, occasional feeding, and moderate watering are all it asks for.

💚 Native to Asia, Australia, and the Pacific Islands, it's more than just a pretty face - this plant has traditional medicinal uses too. But let's be honest: most collectors grow it for the jaw-dropping display.

💚 Very few collectors have this variety - don't miss your chance to be one of them!

From berry to beast: how Black Dragons are born

Anthurium Black Dragon seedlings from berry to beast: how Black Dragons are born

From berry to beast: how Black Dragons are born

🐉 Baby dragons have hatched! Anthurium Black Dragon from our earlier video has been busy... and now we have baby dragons!

🐉 Each bright red berry holds a single seed, and the seeds sprout easily - usually in just 2 to 3 weeks. The seedlings start off slow, but here's the exciting part: some come out variegated, with white, purple, or even pink coloring!

🐉 No two are alike, and that's what makes Black Dragons some of the most unique houseplants out there. Everyone needs at least one in their jungle!
