Araflora Columnea Linearis

What is the plant

This exotic Araflora Columnea linearis (m) is a real must for all plant enthusiastics. This species is found in the wild in Costa Rica among other places, where it can grow up to half a meter tall. In recent years Araflora has grown this Columnea linearis m with pleasure on the back wall of a terrarium. There it must be tempered by cutting its tendrils. The Columnea linearis m has a rich bloom with striking pink flowers. The dark, almost black leaves contrast nicely with the flowers.
