Description

black bat plant seeds Tacca chantrieri, Black Bat Flower 7.8oz 2.5" Potted PlantTacca chantrieri is one of the strangest plants on the planet. Its dark purple blossoms are a foot across, with winged petals and long stamens that dangle a couple of feet. The blooms look like bat faces. This is quite a plant. Tacca grows wild in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and needs a warm, shady, humid setting with good air circulation. It's downright finicky, but in the right conditions will grow three feet tall and bloom profusely.

Tacca chantrieri is one of the strangest plants on the planet. Its dark purple blossoms are a foot across, with winged petals and long stamens that dangle a couple of feet. The blooms look like bat faces. This is quite a plant.

Tacca grows wild in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia and needs a warm, shady, humid setting with good air circulation. It's downright finicky, but in the right conditions will grow three feet tall and bloom profusely.

Black Bat Flower will thrive in a container for years. If you live where it's hot and humid, you can grow it outdoors, but it is seriously tropical and does best indoors or in a greenhouse anywhere  else. Conditions have to be just right - filtered light, moist soil, good air circulation. When it's happy, it's robust, forming fat clumps that can send up a dozen blooms at a time.

This is a remarkable plant with beautiful foliage and extraordinary blooms. If you like a challenge, (or have a greenhouse), this plant is truly awesome.  

These fresh seeds were just collected and should germinate reliably. Older seeds are slower to germinate and can take up to 9 months to sprout. They're still worth the wait.

5 seeds

 

Soak seeds for 24 hours in warm water. If you have a thermos that is ideal to keep temperature consistent. If not, change water as frequently as possible to keep seeds warm.

Fill a pot with seed starting mix, (something containing a combination of perlite/vermiculite/peat moss/coir/pumice.) and water, allow to drain.

Place seeds 1/16 in. deep, and cover with light layer of soil. Use a spray bottle to keep soil moist, but not soaking wet. Do not water with a direct stream of water, this can bury seeds too deeply to germinate.

Cover with plastic wrap and place in a warm/sunny location. Tacca needs consistent heat and moisture to germinate, ideally 80-85 degrees. Germination can take 2-6 months, please be patient!

Remove plastic wrap/dome cover once you have seedlings.

Smooth and Creamy but…
It’s smooth and light. No oily or sticky residue left on skin. This has absolutely no fragrance so good for sensitive skin. It moisturized through my 9 hours of sleep. I applied directly after my shower. Only con I found- hard to squeeze if you have arthritis.

Love this Dove!
I have picky and fussy skin! I never really know what might upset it, and cause it to freak out! I do know that the skin on my hands, particularly around my cuticle area, has an attitude problem! If I use the wrong nail polish or nail polish remover, wash my hands too much, if it's too hot or too cold, or if I just breathe wrong at this point; my cuticles are going to get wrecked! I've tried cuticle oils, cuticle masks, cuticle creams, and everything in between to help them; but to no avail! And what makes it worse, is that l'm a picker! So, once I see a flap of skin, I have to get rid of it! This is a bad combo! But, I'm really happy to report that this Dove Cream Serum REALLY helped!! My skin isn't near as inflamed, it's healed in a few spots completely, and I was even able to put some nail strengthener on them, without my cuticles feeling like they were on fire!! I used this product after cuticle oil to lock it in, and it helped so much!! It is odorless, so no perfumes to make the inflammation worse! It is creamy but melts down nicely into the skin! It lasts! And I love all of the extras in it like the hyaluronic acid and niacinamide! I've also started using this on my legs, feet, and my heels look like a baby’s butt! Soft and dead skin free! My strawberry legs have even started to look less noticeable.

Too dry.
My skin doesn’t feel any better. The lotion is very dry. Doesn’t spread well.
