Showy Medinilla (Medinilla magnifica)

This much sought after Filipino native displays large umbels of draping pink blooms crowned with pink bracts. From spring through early summer flowers emerge from the growing tips and last for weeks. This easily grown epiphyte loves warm temperatures and minimal fertilizer. Provide a well-drained potting mix for optimum growth. We ship seed-grown plants that will bloom in 2 to 3 years. Special Note: Medinilla plants naturally excrete small, round grains, or growth sugars, on the undersides of the leaves. While sometimes confused for insect eggs or a sign of disease, these sugar grains are actually a sign of normal, healthy growth, and are nothing to be worried about. Available in a 2.5" pot.
