An Aroid Air Plant epiphyte, tree dwelling in nature - unique! Remusatia Pumila - Cold Hardy Zone 8 - An interesting plant! The leaves are contrasting darker outlining the veins with light green undersides when young / dark purple when older. They grow to heights of about 10-12" tall with leaves about 4-5 inches long. These epiphytic plants grow high in the trees clinging onto its host. They are extremely easy to grow and resemble a miniature alocasia or colocasia species. They can be potted up and grown indoors or planted in the same manner as a stag horn fern or any other epiphyte. They require moist roots so keeping them potted in a Canadian peat soil mix for easier care. They like bright shade to do their best. The propagate via small runners with a sticky bulbous all along the way that would normally cling to birds and tree mammals to be distributed throughout its habitat. Works well in a dish garden or other indoor arrangement. A small plant that will fit anywhere you place it. They can take the harsh freezes, but will die down below 45ºF. They will come back just about 3 weeks of steady warm temperatures. They require no care throughout their dormant period in Zone 8b/9. May need to be protected if in colder climates. The plants available are about 2 years old and just come out of dormancy. They are filled with deep dark colors to the upper side of the leaves and a very nice lavender purple underside. The leaves are already about 4-6" long on some of the plants. They will produce offset runners all summer and if you keep them indoors, should not go dormant.
