Care information

Listing is for a single cutting of a similar size.

Functions as a nice terrarium filler, and will climb and meander about. Blooms often, and has a nice slight fuzz to the foliage.

Can be grown as a terrarium plant and a houseplant. Bright, indirect light, good airflow, and good drainage are helpful in the success of this plant.

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: Piperaceae
Growth strategy: Epiphyte
Humidity: 40–60%
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: Medium
Temperature: 65–75°F — Ideal for "Cool-Growers" or highland species. These plants prefer the lower end of the tropical spectrum and may show signs of stress or heat-dropping leaves if temperatures consistently exceed 80°F.
Watering substrate: Dry Between — Epiphytic or succulent-type growth that requires the substrate or mounting surface to dry out significantly between mistings to prevent root death.
World: New World — Native to the Western Hemisphere: North, Central, and South America plus the Caribbean
