Great drawn Labisia which can be found on Borneo. The plants have been propagated by us here in Germany. Ideal for warm-humid rainforest terrariums. You will receive a rooted plant in a 5cm pot. The plant can be cultivated on the ground or tied up with sphagnum moss.

Many species of the plant genus Labisia, native to Southeast Asia, have only recently been discovered and are therefore named after their localities and have not yet been specified more precisely. This is also the case for this pretty Labisia, which probably may be the Labisia sp. Kapuas Hulu from the Indonesian region Kapuas Hulu of the island Borneo. It is distinguished by its distinctive bright pink midvein, which contrasts sharply with its dark green leaves. If you are attentive to its needs, its care is not too complicated.
The product photos show examples of the plant. You will receive a specimen that corresponds in size, shape and coloring to the product photos.
