Care information

The taxonomy of this plant seems to be a hot debate currently. I cannot confirm fully the species until it flowers for me, so I'm adding the cf. to the beginning. This was purchased originally from a reputable seller as Papuahoya, with a consistently larger leaf size than the other one I am listing.

Rooting hormone and a sphagnum prop-box is how I'd root these, but I'm sure there are many other good ways.

You'll receive a similar, non-exact cutting of similar size.

Plant Details

Airflow: Medium — Essential for "wetish" setups. Needs regular air exchange or internal circulation fans to prevent water from sitting on leaves, which helps avoid rot and fungal issues.
Family: Apocynaceae
Growth strategy: Epiphyte
Humidity: 60–80% — Suitable for "open-top" or partially ventilated terrariums. While higher than average household humidity, these plants are adaptable and less prone to leaf melt if the environment fluctuates slightly.
Lighting: Bright — Requires high-output lighting to maintain vivid color expression (especially for reds, purples, and variegation) and to ensure shingling habits stay tight and compact.
PH: 5.5–6.5 — Acidic (Optimal): The “Goldilocks” zone for most tropical terrarium plants, including Marcgravia. This range ensures maximum nutrient availability and mimics the natural decomposition of leaf litter on the rainforest floor.
Sales form: Cutting
Size: Large
Temperature: 70–85°F — Standard Tropical Range. This mirrors the natural understory of the rainforest, providing enough warmth for vigorous growth while remaining safe from the extreme heat that can bake a closed glass enclosure.
Watering substrate: Damp — These plants love high moisture levels; the substrate should stay wet to the touch at all times but should not be sitting in a stagnant, waterlogged state.
World: Old World — Native to the Eastern Hemisphere: Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, and surrounding islands.
