Tacca Chantrieri 200mm

Tacca Chantrieri, famously known as the Black Bat Plant, is one of the most extraordinary and conversation-starting plants you can grow. Its dramatic, bat-shaped flowers appear in deep velvety purple to near-black tones, complete with long, flowing “whiskers” that can reach up to 30cm in length.

This rare tropical beauty creates instant impact in shaded courtyards, protected patios or as a collector’s indoor specimen. Large, glossy green leaves provide a lush backdrop, making the blooms even more striking when they emerge.

Perfect for plant lovers who appreciate something truly unique, the Black Bat Plant brings exotic elegance and mystery to any space.

Tip: Tacca thrives in high humidity and consistent moisture. Keep the soil lightly moist at all times (never waterlogged) and place it in a sheltered, humid spot. A regular misting or positioning near other tropical plants will help create the environment it loves.
