Hydnophytum perangustum is originally found on Borneo. It is an epiphytic species (grows in trees). Compared to other kinds of hydnophytum it grows slowly. The leaves are narrow (even acicular) and the caudex is rought to the touch
Place Hydnophytum perangustum in warmth, high humidity and in a spot with lots of (indirect) light. Also ensure this ant plant enjoys 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. Use a mix for orchids to pot the ant plant or tie it to a piece of bark.
