Kangaroo Pocket

Price

HK$180.00

 

Discover the unique Kangaroo Pocket, scientifically known as Dischidia pectenoides. This fascinating plant features hollow, pouch-like leaves that serve as natural shelters for ants, which in turn provide nutrients through their waste, absorbed by the plant's roots.

 

With small, simple leaves, this resilient plant can bloom year-round, producing charming reddish-pink flowers when it’s in optimal health. It thrives in bright, indirect light and warm, humid environments.

 

*Small plant could be shipped by SF Express. It would be wrapped properly for delivery.

 

 

袋葉眼樹蓮擁有獨特的外觀,中空的葉片像是袋鼠的口袋,因而有「Kangaroo Pocket」的名稱。在叢林中,袋狀葉是的螞蟻的棲身之所,同時植物又會透過根部,吸收螞蟻留下的養分。

 

除了中空的袋狀部分,袋葉眼樹蓮另長有藤蔓狀、細小和橢圓的葉片;於充足的光線及溫暖濕潤的環境下,更能開出一串串深粉紅的小花,具有多變和高度的觀賞性。

 

*小型植物可以選擇順豐到付運送,包裝會完整覆蓋泥土及保護植物。
