Schismatoglottis Wallichi 'Drop Tongue Plant'
ADD A BEAUTIFUL FITTED POT (OPTIONAL)
Introducing Schismatoglottis Wallichi, a fascinating plant that captivates with its unique foliage and tropical charm. This particular variety of Schismatoglottis is highly sought after for its striking leaves and elegant growth habit.
Schismatoglottis Wallichi features large, heart-shaped leaves with a rich green colour and intricate veining patterns. The foliage has a glossy sheen, adding to its visual appeal. As the plant matures, it forms a clumping habit, creating a lush and tropical display.
In the wild, Schismatoglottis Wallichi can be found in its native habitats in Southeast Asia, particularly in regions with moist, tropical climates. It thrives in the understory of forests, where it receives filtered sunlight and enjoys higher humidity levels.
Caring for Schismatoglottis Wallichi is relatively straightforward, making it suitable for beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts. Here are some essential care tips to ensure its well-being:
Light Requirements: Provide Schismatoglottis Wallichi with bright, indirect light. It thrives in moderate to low light conditions, mimicking its natural habitat. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
Temperature and Humidity: This plant prefers average room temperatures between 18°C and 24°C (65°F and 75°F). It appreciates high humidity levels, so misting or placing the leaves in a humid environment, such as a bathroom, can help create a suitable atmosphere.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top inch of the soil feels slightly dry. Avoid allowing the plant to sit in standing water, as it can lead to root rot.
Soil and Potting: Plant Schismatoglottis Wallichi in a well-draining potting mix that retains moisture while allowing excess water to drain. A mixture of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark works well for this plant.
Fertilising: Feed Schismatoglottis Wallichi with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every two to four weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Try our own vegan plant food here
