Split-leafed Cyclanthus

Can anyone assist me in locating this plant to purchase

I'm curious. Grown outside what good/ bad beetles would be attracted to it? Thanks! :) =^•.•^=__?

I have never seen this plant flowering in south western India. Normally it is propagated by division of clumps. However, I have succeeded...Read More in propagating this plant from leaf cuttings. Process: A leaf is cut so that it's stalk is about 30cm long. Most of the leaf blade is cut off, exept a small fan-shaped portion of the leaf-blade. The leaf stalk is then inserted in a sandy medium. This cutting normally gives new shots within 30 to 45 days. A single leaf is capable of giving 3 to 5 new shoots.

This is a strange plant. At first sight, it ressembles a short palm, something like a Chamaedorea. Actually, it belongs to an independent...Read More family of tropical plants, Cyclanthaceae, being this plant from Amazon.

It is a rhyzomatous plant, with broad leaves, with two main parallel veins. At the top, the leaf splits in two, each half following a vein. Each leaf can grow up to the size of an adult man. The inflorescence is short and dense, looking like something between an aracean or a palmean bloom, with tiny white flowers that has a slight scent at night, which atracts beetles.

This plant needs high temperatures and humidity, high moisture, an organic and well drained soil, and light shade. Great and exotic tropical plant for greenhouses and tropical gardens.
