Medinilla Magnifica Pinatubo- Pot 17cm - Height 40-50 cm

The Medinilla Magnifica Pinatubo is a beautiful houseplant known for its hanging flowers. The Medinilla Magnifica originally comes from the Philippines, where the locals call the plant 'Kapa-Kapa'. There the plants live as epiphytes: they live on other plants without extracting food from them. They get the moisture they need from the air. In the Philippines the plant can easily reach a height of one and a half meters! However, as a houseplant it does not grow very well and the plant grows to a maximum height of one meter. Square stems that feel like cork grow in high arches between the gracefully wavy leaves. Large pink bubbles grow here. As soon as they open, another bunch of pink flowers will emerge. There is always something to do with Medinilla Magnifica! The plant has 1-3 buds.

Care
The Medinilla Magnifica Pinatubo is a plant known for its somewhat difficult care. This fear is unfounded, a Medinilla is actually very easy to care for. To properly care for a plant, you need to know and copy its natural environment. Originally from a tropical environment, the Medinilla gets its moisture from the air. So make sure it has high humidity and spray the plant occasionally. Do not water the plant too much, preferring small amounts. The leaves start drooping as soon as the plant needs water. Furthermore, the Medinilla likes a somewhat higher temperature: it cannot stand the cold very well. It is advisable to remove the old flower stems once the flower has finished blooming. After this, the Medinilla can grow new leaves and maybe even flowers!
