Scientific Name
Schismatoglottis hainanensis
Common Name
Drop Tongue Plant
Origin
Native to the rainforest floors of Southeast Asia
Light
Bright, indirect light is best- this plant is used to having leaf canopy between it and the tropical sun!
Water
This plant likes to be moist but not soggy; let the top layer of soil dry out between waters.
Humidity
This plant appreciates high humidity so will benefit from a pebble tray or regular misting to help stop its leaves drying out!
Soil
A soil mix that drains well but retains moisture will work well here. One with added coir and perlite, or a mix designed for Calatheas or Marantas, will be just right! Repot every couple of years as the plant grows.
Food
Feed every four waters in the growing season, reduce to every six in autumn and winter.
Temperature
Average household temperatures of about 18-24°C are perfect- ensure it doesn't consistently drop below 15°C in winter.
Pet-safe
No, this plant is toxic to pets and small humans.
Sprouts Top Tips
Watch out for overwatering with this plant; early signs are yellowing lower leaves. If its leaves are drooping and wilting, and the soil feels dry, you may be underwatering! If it's growing pale and leggy (i.e. lots of stem between leaves), it's probably getting too much light.

The product had slight wear to it but the seller contacted me to let me know if I still wanted to proceed. I was happy to do so and glad I did as I do not notice it. And I've got a happy plant!! 😊
Just what I was looking for. The coir moss pole gives my monstera some much-needed support and allows it to grow upwards. I've had the pole for two weeks and the plant is already looking much happier. Thanks!
Had a desire box was ok but one plant not potted.. others very small.. rescue box from else’s where bigger plants and stronger looking
