A great rainforest plant with dark, shimmering leaves. It can be planted on the ground in the terrarium and requires a warm, moist location. On the windowsill, it should be given a semi-shady position. You will receive a plant in an 8 cm pot.

The Midnight Pearl is a real must-have for lovers of dark plants, because its beautiful leaves, which first appear curled up when new shoots appear and then slowly unfold into their wavy shape, look almost like black leather due to their smooth texture and deep dark color. It is difficult to find in the trade and is therefore highly sought after by collectors.
The product photos show examples of the plant. You will receive a specimen that corresponds to the product photos in terms of size, shape and coloring.
