Bertolonia sp Itamaraju (maculata)

This small to medium Melastome is native to Brazil. It is a beautiful species that has green to maroon leaves with bright purple trichomes! It needs high humidity. Growing this plant in a terrarium until well established is advised.

All of our cuttings have adventitious, aerial roots. Our rooted specimens will have at least a few active roots and will be established plants. Our plants are grown in high humidity in terrariums and greenhouses, therefore may need acclimation to the average home humidity / environment. Please contact us for acclimation information if you are not planning to use this plant in a terrarium, greenhouse, or humid room.
