Tacca chantrieri 'Green' | Green Bat Plant

Bring the spellbinding drama of the deep tropical understory into your collection with the rare Green Bat Plant. While famous for its dark-bloomed sibling, this striking green variant offers a fresh, luminous take on one of the plant world’s most eccentric flowers.

From a base of glossy, deep-veined emerald foliage, it sends up spectacular, architectural blooms resembling a bat in mid-flight. Large, wing-like green bracts are framed by long, trailing whisker-like threads that hang elegantly below the flower—a true collector’s piece and a guaranteed conversation starter.

Key Features

• Exotic Blooms: Features wide, bat-shaped green wings and spectacular flowing whiskers up to 25cm long.
• Lush Foliage: Large, satin-textured leaves create an instant, luxurious tropical aesthetic even when the plant isn't flowering.

Quick Care Guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light. Protect strictly from harsh, direct sun.
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but well-drained. Do not allow to sit in water.
• Humidity: High humidity is essential. Thrives with misting, pebble trays, or grouped with other tropical plants.
• Climate: Frost-free and warm. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.

Grower's Tip: Mimic the rainforest floor. A rich, chunky potting mix with plenty of peat and bark keeps the roots aerated while retaining the moisture they love.
