Scientific Name: Tacca chantrieri 
Common Name: Bat Flower, Black Bat Flower, Devil Flower, Cat's Whiskers

When the Bat Flower isn't in bloom, it appears to be an unassuming - albeit beautiful - tropical plant with large dark green ridged leaves that have subtle light green variegations along the edges. 

But when this unique plant is in bloom, that is where its uniqueness really shines! Its blooms are black, and look very much like a bat with its wings spread. There are also bracteoles that look like whiskers hanging from the flower. 

Basic Care: Bright indirect light, keep the soil evenly moist but not soaking wet. We recommend more frequent watering with less water, as opposed to less frequent heavy waterings. The Bat Flower greatly appreciates humidity and can struggle in dry environments without at least supplemental misting.  

***Due to the unique nature of plants, the one we carefully choose for you won't look exactly like the photos. but it will be just as beautiful!
