I even remember to fertilise it with eggshells. Ungrateful plant!

A truly black species with a purple/blue undertone

Here’s a list of why:

1. It sizes up fast.
2. It’s relatively easy
3. The tuber is round and sizes up uniformly (unlike some species which grow elongating tubers that require a special pot)
4. It’s not leggy. The petiole is very short compared to other species.
5. Both the leaf and bloom are absolutely gorgeous.

It’s a no compromise species.

I have these 2 AOS x ZxM that I grew from seed and because of space constraints I need to let one go but I genuinely cannot decide!

Rescued it from a grocery store. It was very yellow and without any blooms and now I love it so much. Last year’s bloom lasted 7 months.
