The black Bat flower plant â with the botanical name of Tacca Chantrieri has a wild, unusual looking flower. As exotic as it may look, the Bat Plant is not a difficult plant to grow.TACCA (takâ-ah) â A genus of tropical, tuberous-rooted perennial herbs having large leaves at the base of stems which are surmounted by brown or greenish flowers in dense, round-topped clusters.The name âbat flowerâ comes from the plantâs bractea shape which looks similar to bats.
Keep the soil lightly moist at all times. Use a pot with a drainage hole to prevent soggy soil, which will cause the rhizomes to rot.
Feed every 2 weeks with a 10-20-10 water-soluble fertilizer diluted by half while plant is growing and flowering. Do not feed in winter.
Neutral to acidic potting mix, which is peat-moss based. I'd mix in a couple handfuls of perlite to improve drainage. African violet potting mix is ideal.
Steady temps of 65-70°F/18-21°C year-round. Keep your bat flower away from heat/AC vents and away from doors and windows during the winter months.
