Phyllagathis sp

Phyllagathis sp is a Melastome native to parts of Asia. It is known for its stunning bullate leaves that flash are bright green. It is adaptable to the vivarium life, and does well in moist, but not wet, conditions. It enjoys high light and does not like standing water on its leaves. It is somewhat easy to propagate in sphagnum moss or Fluvial stratum.

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.
