INSTRUCTIONS - to save paper I no longer send out growing instructions. They are detailed below so bookmark this page
With flowers growing to almost 12 inches across, and long 'whiskers' that can grow up to 28 inches this is a very unusual tropical plant! Native to tropical regions of Southeast Asia including Thailand, Malaysia, and southern ChinaThey are understory plants, so they prefer shade (at least 60%) and grow best in well-drained soil with good air circulation, but they prefer high humidity, and need a lot of water. Not frost hardy but the tubers can be lifted and stored over winter if growing outdoors.
