Griffinia parviflora - Origin and Culture

Griffinia parviflora is native to the Atlantic Forest of Bahia, Brazil. The species grows on the forest floor of the lush tropical rainforests of the Mata Atlantica. This plant, grown at the University of Florida's Ft. Lauderadale Research & Education Center (IFAS), was grown in a medium consisting of coir and perlite (about 3:1) and fertilized with Osmocote. Growing this plant is almost as difficult as getiing your hands on one!
