Plant species: Marcgravia sintenisii



Plant genus: Marcgravia



Plant family: Marcgraviaceae



Plant origin: endemic to Puerto Rico.



Soil drainage: medium retention, we recommend a substrate mix composed of organic substrate, perlite, vermiculite, sphagnum moss.

Attention: It is recommended that the substrate be kept consistently moist but not excessively wet, to prevent root necrosis.



Soil pH: acidic



Fertilizers: Marcgravias generally do not require constant fertilization, considering the substrate contains organic matter. It is necessary for the fertilizer to be diluted to avoid root burn.



Air humidity: For proper plant development, a high level of air humidity is necessary, ranging between 70% and 90%.

Green Mirrors recommends attaching the plant to a flat support for better attachment and growth.



Temperature: 18-27 degrees Celsius



Light: indirect bright light



Plant height with pot included: 15 cm



Marcgravia sintenisii is a perfect species for terrariums, growing as a "shingler" vine in the moist tropical biome. New leaves are usually in various shades of red (depending on the degree of brightness) and transform into dark green as they mature.
