Description An unusual plant is known as the “ant plant.” Ant plants are epiphytes in nature, but can also be grown in a pot in sphagnum moss fiber or orchid bark mix. The plant forms an interesting hollow caudex which is a perfect nest for ants. The ants protect the plant and in return, the ants get a nice shelter and sap. The plant has small white flowers and little orange berries. It likes bright light, high humidity, and average water. It is a tropical plant, that avoids freezing temperatures. Very interesting plant that forms an unusual caudex. It is a slow grower and takes a while to form the nice caudex and is not very easy to find. Great for collectors! *ants not included �� FAMILY: Rubiaceae ORIGIN: South East Asia GROWTH RATE: slow LIGHT REQUIREMENTS: Bright filtered light WATER REQUIREMENTS: average MIN.
