Hydnophytum cf. Mosleyanum - Antp19
Hydnophytum cf. mosleyanum is a prime example of nature's beautiful and exotic plants, because it is a real ant plant. The caudex (or broadened stem) provides shelter for ants. Hydnophytum cf. mosleyanum can also be kept without the presence of ants, it is even strongly discouraged to let ants live in the plant when it is in the house or terrarium. The caudex is smooth.

Hydnophytum cf. mosleyanum is found in nature growing on trees in the tropical rain forests of Indonesia, the Philippines and the northern parts of Australia. Compared to other species, Hydnophytum cf. mosleyanum has a reasonably large caudex (max. 25 cm), which is relatively smooth. The ants living in it deposit waste which is beneficial to the plant. The plant has slightly succulent leaves and makes long, thin stalks which will form a nice and compact whole if pruned. In the axil of the leaves small, subtle flowers can grow, which are followed by yellow-orange to bright red-colored berries.
Make sure this ant plant is warm and in high humidity, choose a spot with lots of (indirect) light and regularly provide Hydnophytum mosleyanum with nutrition. Also ensure sufficient air circulation when placing it in a terrarium. Though the exotic ant plant does well at temperatures between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius, the ideal temperatures are higher: between 20 and 30 degrees. The plant is not hardy against frost. Use a mix for orchids to pot the plant or tie it to a piece of bark.
