Have a few but i don't have much shade so there in the bottom of my greenhouse and one flowered the other day. A small weird flower..sorry pics a little blurry. Anyone else have bat flower pics?
Who has a bat plant?
Rylaff used to have some - maybe she can pop in and talk about hers. I only DROOL about owning one!
I have tons of them, black white and green ones.
White bat:
I trialed them outside for winter last season and found that they are hardy enough to survive here. Both the black and white froze to the ground and went dormant and have already grown back. The white is now blooming size outside, I expect blooms soon.
Very interesting!
wow nice! and they say there tropical hey!hehe!
This is the biggest flower I ever got on a Tacca

What soild mixture do you use ? Fertilizer?
My plant is inground in the plain old Myakka Fine Sand, the 'national soil' of Florida, LOL.
I fertilize with whatever is on hand. I rotate between 15-30-15, 10-50-10 (although I have read that the high phosphate ferts will no longer be sold in FL anymore) and Jerry's Grow liquid Orchid Fertilizer, which non-orchid plants really like a lot.
