Blooming Gorgeous Plant to Consider

Medinilla is native to the mountainous regions of the Philippines, where you can find more than 200 different species. The plant is called Kapa-kapa in the Philippines. There are more than 400 species worldwide, particularly in Southeast Asia, around the Pacific and in tropical Africa. Medinilla grows in trees as an epiphyte - that means that the plant does not draw any nutrients from the host. It is sold in various sizes, ranging from 1 layer of leaves with 2 buds to 3 layers of leaves with 15+ buds, in pot sizes ranging from 14 cm to 30 cm. Check carefully that the leaves are not damaged, do not show scorching (dark spots) and are free of mealy bug and brown scale.  A storage and transport temperature of above 15°C is important. Medinilla requires a light position; in winter months the plant can even tolerate direct sunlight. Don’t place in full sun in the spring and summer because of leaf scorching. Water the plant moderately: the soil can dry out a bit between watering. It’s better to be a little too dry than too wet. The houseplant needs no food and does not need to be soaked. The larger sizes of Medinilla look fabulous as a solo plant on a pedestal or corner of an item of furniture.
