Marcgravia rectifolia 'Starter Plug'

The Marcgravia rectifolia is a very striking and magnificently colored climbing (and sometimes hanging) terrarium plant. The young leaves stand out with their bright red color and nicely contrast all the different shades of green. Keeping this plant in a terrarium is easy. With its vines it can climb up against back walls or wood.

The Marcgravia rectifolia must not constantly have its roots in water, but they should however be kept moist. Macgravia thrives in lots of light and high humidity (above 75%). Pruning can be necessary, but much less so than with Scindapsus. When Marcgravia is placed near a PL-lamp at high humidity, its young leaves turn intensely red.
