Regular price $25.00 Sale

Origins: Pam Koide hybrid

Bloom: Short, capitate inflorescence with several red bracts slightly emerging from the scapes.  Upper foliage produces a nice raspberry color and the flowers are purple

Light: Strong indirect or filtered light

Water: Spray or dunk twice a week, allow to dry within 6-8 hours.  Soak monthly to rehydrate up to 4 hours as necessary

 

This hybrid has very soft, lepidote gray-green leaves that produce a nice blush in strong filtered light and even stronger color during bloom.  Bract formation is strong given the capitata influence.
