The Tacca chantrieri, commonly known as the Black Bat Plant, is a striking tropical plant admired for its mysterious, otherworldly blooms and lush, broad foliage. This exotic plant earns its nickname from its unique flowers, which resemble a bat in flight or even a black cat's face, with long, trailing whisker-like bracts adding to its dramatic appearance.
CARE:
- Prefers bright, indirect light or dappled sunlight. Avoid harsh, direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
- Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, mimicking its natural rainforest environment.
- Requires moderate to high humidity
- Keep away from drafty windows!
