Tacca integrifolia
bat flower seeds

Tacca integrifolia, the bat flower is an upright perennial from Southeast Asia that grows up to 1.2m high and is suitable as a house, balcony and terrace plant. The dark red flowers of the Tacca integrifolia with the thread-like runners look spectacular. The glossy green leaves are 60 cm long.

Use Jiffy peat swell pots for sowing, let them swell in water and put them in a plastic pot. Alternatively, a commercially available sowing substrate can also be used.

Spread a few seeds on the peat well and cover thinly with the sowing substrate (about 2 mm).

Then place the plastic pot in a zip-lock bag - for a pot size of 6 cm, a zip-lock bag size 120 x 170 mm is recommended. Pour enough tap water with a few drops of universal fertilizer into the zip-lock bag so that a few mm of water remain after the substrate has been drawn up.

Location: on the window sill or in a mini greenhouse in partial shade, during the day the temperatures should be around 24 - 28 C, at night a little lower at 20 - 24 C. 

Price is for 5 seeds
