Commonly referred to as 'Malaysian Orchid' and 'Malaysian Grapes', an easy to grow shade or houseplant with thick, leathery, green leaves that have distinctive light green veins. Under ideal conditions will bloom on and off throughout the year with gorgeous deep pink flowers drooping off long stems which can grow up to a foot long, opening in succession over several weeks and darkening to purple, resembling a grape cluster. The "berries" are not edible. Place in bright indirect light or filtered sunlight, does tolerate early morning and late afternoon direct sun but is susceptible to sunburn. Needs well drained soil, keep moderately dry. Feed monthly during the growing season with a high phosphorus fertilizer. If grown outdoors, best to protect when temps reach low 40's.
*Note to Customers: Medinillas excrete small, round, semi-translucent grains known as "growth sugars". These growth sugars are completely harmless to the plant and having growth sugars present is actually a tell-tale sign that that plant is healthy and thriving in its current growing conditions.
Thank you beautiful starter for me to raise

The plant arrived well packed and in great condition! I am thrilled with how healthy and full this plant is. There was no damage from shipping. I can’t wait to see this plant grow and bloom!
Hands down these were the best quality and expertly packaged plants I’ve ever received. Please note the damage to the leaf was my fault, but it arrived in pristine condition.
It was a bday gift that I was not expecting. It was delivered around 5:00 per my sis. But, I dint get home to receive it due to a church meeting. So, it was in the box with the warmer until 9:or 10 p.m. and it was FINE! I unpacked it immediately & it seemed dry, so I watered it. It sprang to life. It’s looked good ever since. Not sure how I’m gonna get it to bloom. It needs to be around 65 degrees & my house is usually around 68 lowest in Winter & 73 in coolest in Summer. But, the plant looks pretty, so, even if it doesn’t bloom, I will enjoy it.
