Newly described, caudiciform species from karst limestone of North-Eastern Thailand, forming rounded, flatten caudex where red-brown petioles emerge from any points and grow up to 10-15". Earlier of the growing season, stunning staminate inflorescences elongate from the leaf axils, with cluster of tiny white flowers.
By nature of the plant, this type of Elatostema is seasonal. The rest (leafless) period starts from November to early April. The caudex can be stored dry indoors during the rest time, or left in a pot by keeping the pot in dark and dry place.
With proper preparation of the caudex in the pre-dormancy practice, the plant starts vegetative cycle fast and tolerates for some neglect in its growing season. Perform well when nestled in the very coarse, porous media or epiphyt mix, with additional of 10% by volume of limestone chips.
Offered are starter plants, established in 3" pot
