This beautiful plant comes from Southeast Asia and usually grows on the branches of trees. Regardless of its origin in a somewhat tropical environment, this plant is still an excellent houseplant that will appeal to every plant lover. The plant is non-toxic and will look great in any room of your home. This plant also produces flowers that make it stand out even more!
Location
The Medinilla can be placed in almost any room of the house, but it is not recommended to place it in direct sunlight. He feels at home at a temperature between 17 and 25 degrees. Also, keep in mind to place the plant far enough from a window where direct sunlight enters the room. In winter, however, the plant can stand in direct sunlight without issue.
Taking care of Medinilla
Not much is needed in terms of care for the Medinilla. However, it is very important not to place it in direct sunlight as this will burn the leaves and make it look less attractive. It is also advisable to place it in a room with a temperature between 17 and 25 degrees.

Medinilla cuttings
Having more than one of these Medinillas is great fun! You can do the cutting of the plant yourself. The youngest stem should be cut off at the bottom and the leaves should also be removed to within 5 centimeters from the stem. This piece can then be planted in some cutting soil and put in a pot after about 6 to 8 weeks. The ideal temperature for the cutting to sprout and grow well is between 20 and 25 degrees.
Moisten Medinilla
Regular watering is necessary for the plant, but it does give signals itself when water is needed. For example, the flowers and leaves hang a bit when it needs water . A glass of lukewarm water at a time is more than enough. Try to avoid water accumulation on the plate under the pot, as this can rot the roots.
Medinilla nutrition and soil
You could almost say that plant food is not necessary for this plant. However, if nutrition is added, orchid nutrition should be chosen and rather too little than too much. This is not necessary in winter as the plant then needs its rest. Different types of plant nutrition can be found here: plant nutrition. Furthermore, the potting soil should not be saturated with water as this can lead to rotting of the roots. The basis for growing this plant can be found on Medinilla plant guide

Traumhaft schöne, kompakte, saftig grüne und gesunde Pflanze mit 8(!) Blüten ... so etwas habe ich noch nie in einem Geschäft gesehen!! Die Verpackung war sehr gewissenhaft, die Pflanze kam unbeschadet an. Herausragende Qualität, die ich definitiv nicht erwartet hatte, da ich Blühpflanzen wegen einiger schlechter Erfahrungen bei anderen Lieferanten nicht mehr online bestellen wollte. Bei Florastore kann man es guten Gewissens tun und werde es gern auch wieder tun.

I bought this together with Medinilla Flamenco. This plant is small and compact and came with many buds waiting to bloom. This was my 3rd purchase from this company and I am now waiting in anticipation for the huge Strelitzia Reginae. A highly recommended company and value for money and lot cheaper than what is sold here in the UK. Flora Store keep up the good work and excellent customer service which is open 24/7! what more do you need!

Très contente de cette plante. Ma mère l'a reçu assez rapidement. Elle était bien emballée et n'a pas été abîmée du tout. Elle est très jolie et il n'y a plus qu'à prendre soin d'elle pour qu'elle se sente suffisamment bien pour fleurir complètement. :)
