A rare white form of the Bat Plant. These plants have got to be worth a try just for the novelty. Everyone I show this Bat plant to are simply amazed and usually have never seen one before.

Its total weird flower arrangement is about one metre from top to bottom, on a spike, also one metre long. Its top bracts consist of two spectacular flowers very white and purple stripes and each one about 200mm wide. The true flowers are like thick purple buttons and then there are huge purple whiskers which hang from the flowers to about 600mm below.

Spectacular is not the word for this one !!


The soil is one of the most important things for success with Taccas. The mixture needs
to be light, very porous, something that drains well.
Use something like:
60% peat moss
30% perlite
10% vermiculite
The soil should be a little bit acid

LIGHT REQUIREMENTS : shade to light sun
WATER REQUIREMENTS : always keep moist
MIN. TEMP. : mid 50's F and 15-20 C
FLOWER : year round
