Old video but super helpful none the less. I found one at my local greenhouse, dirt cheap because it was in rough shape. This had some great info for me to try and nurse it back to health!
I got seeds of the bat flower plant, however I did not realise they grew so large. It is nice to know how impressive they can be if I eventually nail this beautiful plant. Thank you for uploading.
Megan Cowan: I've tried to germinate bat flower seeds in the past and it didn't work. The reason is that they can take up to 12 months to germinate. So I went online and just got the live plant instead. They can take 2-3 years to flower so try to get the oldest and largest you can find. Good Luck!!
@@vrtruebluebuddha6693 According to my experience, fresh seeds only stay viable about 2 months, germination rate is only half after 4th week, actually. You did a smart thing just get a live plant! And yes, from seed to flower will take 3 years. Grow this in a large clear plastic bag can keep the moisture easily but remember from time to time (at least every other day), open the bag for fresh air. And be ware of aphids!
Thank you for this video! I haven been wondering about growing one of these in the house for a while now and it's been difficult to find good information on the plants' care and appropriate planting medium, and this video was very helpful :)
I grew this flower and a guy bursted out of my spare room closet in a loin cloth screaming "what year is it?!?" Then he ran away from a board game... Craziest Thursday night ever...
After about a year, mine produced a flower! It’s beginning to die now. I do want to try to collect its seeds and I read to let the little flowers completely dry on the stem. After that, should I cut the whole stem off?
That is so helpful thank you. As my one does not look good as the leaves are not healthy. I have it inside and it has full sun should i move it to another place in the house?
I need this flower in my lifeeee!!!! I finally own my own house and am excited to finally be able to grow whatever I want !!!! Anyone know where I can get these seeds?
We don't suggest the slow release fertilizer as it's very difficult to control how much the plant is being fed. You can leach the soil, the next time you go to water the plant, by running some water through the pot for approximately 3-5 minutes.
This is great thanks, it would be even better if you could also please include the modern measurements as well as the imperial, it just saves having to stop the video and calculate - thanks :)
I've got some tubers of this plant and have planted them in a mix of bark, orchid mix and a very small amount of good potting medium. As they're tubers how should i go about watering them and how long might I expect (given the right amount of humidity etc.) before I see signs of growth from the tubers? Any advice would be very welcome as I tried last year but overwatered the tubers and they rotted.
Mine is floppy at the base, like you mentioned in the video. Is there a limit as to how deep you can cover the base with more soil? Will planting it deeper cause new roots to emerge from the top part of the base? I know burying the stem will kill some types of plants, but it's great for others (like tomatoes and pumpkins). I just want to make sure I don't mess up my little Tacca.
Try leaching the soil the next time it needs to be watered by running some water through the pot for about 3-5 minutes. This should solve the issue. What type of soil is it in? What's the brand? Is it being fed? If so, what is the NPK value on the fertilizer and how often is it being applied?
Bat Flowers can be propagated from seeds, or plant rhizomes. Seeds can take months to germinate. A heated germination mat is strongly recommended. Most people propagate them using the rhizomes or tuberous roots.Dig up rhizomes of established plants in the Fall, and divide into clumps for re-planting.
Love this plant and anu onusual plants , very intresting but what is the name of that plant on your end right corner i have that and i love it i dont know any thing about it plzz make video thanks for your hard work 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏
The one on the right is a Syngonium podophyllum varagataand the one on the left is a Crown of Thorns (Euphorbia milii), we have a video on the Crown of Thorns on our channel.
I haven't had much success with these. I just got 2 small plants and potted them with a mix of 60% potting soil, 30% vermiculite and 10% catus mix. Do i need to change anything?
That might be the issue. Miracle grow soils tend to contain high levels of slow release fertilizers which can be harmful to these tropical plants. We generally suggest using a well-draining soil which is free from any sort of fertilizers. You can try leaching the soil, the next time you go to water the plant, by running some water through the pot for approximately 3-5 minutes. This should flush any of the excess fertilizer from the mix.

That's a bad ass flower. I've been enjoying mine for several years now......finally got a spud to share with a friend too!
Tkq. I've just bought a small plant abt 7". Hope that it'll thrive in my home
Thank you for this video! I haven been wondering about growing one of these in the house for a while now and it's been difficult to find good information on the plants' care and appropriate planting medium, and this video was very helpful :)
Wow, so tall. Absolutely gorgeous & rare
This man has a green thumb and a clear pointer finger
That flower is horrifyingly creepy and I love it
I can’t wait for mine to look like that.. right now it’s just two leaves
This was very helpful, thank you!!! 😊
I figured that I would give these a go in a shady spot outside in SW Florida. I hope they are as easy as you make them look.
I have a huge one that has never flowered. I grew it from seed. I think I need to change location. I have shadier areas in my yard to put it.
Can you do a video on plants for the office? Thanks
nature is so amazing....

My black and white tacca plants are doing well. My large white one had 4 buds but they’re brown and not growing. Why is that? Will they bloom?
Can you use orchid potting mix
I'm from São Paulo, Brazil, I'm looking to buy it, so beautiful, thanks for sharing
It's bigger than I expected wow

Is this plant comparable to the peace lily?
I used a mix of orchid bark, premium potting mix and peat moss for mine is this ok?
That's fine! Just make sure the potting mix didn't have a slow release fertilizer in it.
@@LogeesPlants Uh oh yes it does D: Like the little balls of fertilizer, why is that bad?
We don't suggest the slow release fertilizer as it's very difficult to control how much the plant is being fed. You can leach the soil, the next time you go to water the plant, by running some water through the pot for approximately 3-5 minutes.

hello I loved this plant and parenye of the peace lily plant?
Are they a slow grower because I got mine about 5 months ago and no new leaves
Yes they can be but should be showing growth now that we are in spring.
LogeesPlants , would it be good to put in a open top terrarium (large tall terrarium)?
Yes, they can be grown that way.
What type of fertilizer is best?
Wow beautiful😍
Great info thank you
It sounds like growing gunnera manicata in many ways if I can grow them I feel I can do these guys

Hi I would like to know what kind soil you use for this bat flower?
1/3 peat moss, 1/3 pine bark, 1/3 perlite. Do not let the soil dry out completely.
Thank you very much for your time to feed back to me. I will keep it in mind. thanks

can you send us a photo of your plant to info@logees.com?
Thank you very much ❤️
Nice
Great video! Thank you. My plant has brown tips on each of the leaves. Can you please advise?

I always wanted to try to grow one of these, awesome video.
Are they tedious to grow from seed? Or are the best from a tuber/root cutting?

Do you happen to know what brand of potting mix and cactus mix you're using? Is the soil staying consistently moist?
@@LogeesPlants everything is miracle grow. They are about 4 inches tall. Just got them yesterday
