Description
Large blooming size plant in a 3.25" pot.
Scaphosepalums are cool! The flowers are weird, they bloom a lot, and the spikes last over a year. And it flowers year round! What more could you want? S. beluosum flowers are about the size of a dime but are worth bending over and getting close to view. Hairy and fanged, the flowers have a gold background with brown markings and a red/purple column. The spikes bloom successively in flushes so it appears the side of the pot or basket is covered in tiny alien insects! Each spike may produce over 30 flowers over its lifespan.
When given the proper amount of light, new leaves have a purple blush which fades to green as they mature,
Care: Cool-intermediate temps with plenty of humidity and good air circulation, Shade-indirect light, year round watering and light fertilizing. Should never be allowed to dry out completely.
