Marcgravia Umbellata
Marcgravia umbellata is an excellent hanging plant due to its trailing and climbing nature. Its shingle-like leaves create a beautiful cascading effect when grown in hanging baskets or mounted on structures. The plant’s vining habit allows it to drape gracefully, making it an attractive choice for vertical gardens, terrariums, or hanging pots.
When grown in a hanging setup, ensure it has ample humidity and indirect light to thrive, as it’s naturally an epiphyte that enjoys clinging to trees in the wild.
How to care for Marcgravia umbellata:
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
Humidity: Loves high humidity levels, ideally 60% or more. Perfect for terrariums or rooms with added humidity.
Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures between 18-27°C. Keep it away from cold drafts, as it prefers consistent warmth.
