Calvoa sessiliflora

Calvoa sessiliflora is native to central to west Africa. It is a beautiful Melastome species that has green leaves with bright pink to white spots. It can grow into a small shrub-like bush but is easy to trim. It needs high humidity. Growing this plant in a terrarium until well established is advised. It MUST be kept humid.

All of our cuttings have adventitious, aerial roots. Our rooted specimens will have at least a few active roots and will be established plants. Our plants are grown in high humidity in terrariums and greenhouses, therefore may need acclimation to the average home humidity / environment. Please contact us for acclimation information if you are not planning to use this plant in a terrarium, greenhouse, or humid room.
