The season of Smithiantha

Although I did not open sale, I still received many purchase requests of Smithiantha in the past year, then I just know many people are looking for this beautiful houseplant. Sorry for not keeping enough rhizomes as I'm not doing commercial planting/propagation. I love to promote Smithiantha and I hope the people who like it are able to get the plants they like. I don't keep any plant as limited treasure because the plant shows its value only if it's cultivated by the public.

Aeschynanthus from the public flower market

I bought this plant a few months ago in the local flower market, it may be a hybrid. The flowers are coming soon. The good thing is the small leaves that make it a neat and compact hanging plant. 

The size of flowering Smithiantha

Smithiantha is usually considered as a big and tall plant, that's why it is limited in cultivation, especially the growing rack with lights. The natural growing character of Smithiantha is upright, some easily reach more than 20 inches in total with the flowering spike. Logically, the bigger rhizome produces bigger plant with many flowers.

But it is possible to grow a compact Smithiantha as long as you go the right way. Let's study together. :)
