Showy medinilla, also known as Rose grape, Pink lantern, Philippine orchid, Chandelier tree, Philippine orchid
Showy medinilla requires high humidity and indirect, bright light to thrive. It's crucial to maintain even moisture without waterlogging the soil, making watering a delicate balance. One special care point is the need for warm temperatures, as showy medinilla is sensitive to drafts and cold. Regular misting or a pebble tray can help maintain the needed humidity. These specific requirements contribute to its reputation as a plant that's difficult to care for.
