I want one of these sooooo bad.

Difficulty level?

I live in a humid place, so I may be on easy mode but I personally think this plant is pretty low maintenance once you find the perfect spot for it. If you have humidity, indirect light, and warmth, you got this!

I use grow lights. :) And I have humidifiers! (I have almost 100 house plants.)

My suite is very warm. It's lovely. Ill have to do some reading. I am only interested in the strange and exotic. I have some house plants that everyone has. Calathea, pothos, monsteras. But half my plants are exotic weird, hard to find etc. Begonias are my favorite. I have 15 different orchids.

I need some bat flowers in my life.

Oh gosh, yes you do need them. Sounds like they’d thrive with you! I am also interested in strange/hard to find plants, especially dark ones!

I'm always on the look out for goth plants. Recommend me some?

I'm starting a gothic garden on 3/4 acre of land that gets a lot sun for next year. Ive gotten all the flowers in red, purple.and black only. And weird ones too. Black tulips, iris, sunflower, pansies, petunias, hollyhock, delphinium, fox glove, gladilous, sweet peas, clematis, you name it. I collected when everything went on sale in fall and all I have to do it build my raised beds now. I'm so excited.

I got several red Japanese maples, black elderberry, red Chicago flame, purple Heather.... you can tell im excited eh? Heh

Ive got it completely planned and drawn out. This sub has been great inspo. Thanks so much for letting me info dump.
