One of the most exciting house plants that we currently stock. The stunning leaf colours make these 'must have' plants. Bulbous in nature they die down in the winter months but during the growing season they prefer it warm and moist so temperatures around 20C and regular misting. As autumn approaches reduce the watering until they become dormant. Keep the tubers in a warm frost free place and re-start into growth in new compost Feb/March. Natives of Brazil and South America.
