Geogenanthus ciliatus

The combination of the deep dark green with purple foliage which in certain light reads black is irresistible. Truly beautiful. The first plant i got i made the mistake of placing in moss and I lost it. This one i did some research, something I should have done with the first and something I usually do before getting a plant but somehow I didn't with this one. So this plant needs to stay humid and it is suggested you pot them up in soil used for Violets. I used Espoma you can use whatever brand you like, and my plant is doing beautifully. It is a rare and stunning plant and I am so pleased to own it. Thank you Karla for your help.

The plant arrived in very good condition and well protected. The leaves are absolutely gorgeous and are already thriving with new leaves growing having only for the last 2 weeks so far. Very happy with the robustness of the plant. Obviously well cared for and shipping was fantastic.

Thanks to the help of Karla Yanza at Ecuagenera I placed the plant in a pot with moss and perlite and inserted it in a large, clear plastic bag fir humidity. It's looking good and beginning to get a new leaf.

Root ball was super wet. I tried changing the medium to a drier one but the roots were holding onto the medium so tightly. Eventually, lost more than half the leaves. Trying my best to save what's remaining :(
