Description

The listing, BAT FLOWER (5) has ended.

Care of bat flower indoors will include a shady location as well, and yearly repotting for the rapidly growing plant. This plant does not like to be root bound. Pot up until reaching a 10- or 12-inch pot; after that, trim the roots and return to the same size pot, if desired.

Well-draining soil is a must when growing Tacca bat flowers and should remain slightly moist on a continual basis. Soil should be light and retain moisture but never allowed to get soggy. Try making your own potting mix by adding perlite and vermiculite to a good peat based soil. Plants growing outdoors benefit from sand in the soil, just not too much

but then again I don't think I waited the possible 9 months it takes for them to germinate :-p
