Pearcea hypocyrtiflora leaves and flowers are both highly ornamental. While leaves are very nice but more classic – very dark (sometimes almost black) with striking green and purple veins, the flowers are absolutely unique and bizzare, they look like striking, orange puffballs with purple tips – simply amazing! The plant needs high humidity, so it should be kept in a terarrium / vivarium or a closed container.
