One of the most decorative and spectacular specie of the genus, native to Borneo and Philippines. Its distinctive leaves are full of red blotches covering the upper and under side, especially on new growth. The newest leaves are often curled into white cylinders with red blotches, while older leaves may fade enough to appear totally light green except on closer inspection. Red tubular flowers occur in the middle of the rhizome, some distance from the vegetative stalk.


This is a large specie stand to approx 5-6 ft. Challenge but very worth to grow. Does best in peat-based medium and perform well under light shade, with relatively high humidity and good air movement.


Offered are starter plants, established in 6" pot
