Lace Flower Vine

Alsobia dianthiflora

The Lace flower vine is a creeping plant originally from Central and South America. It is possible to start growing an Alsobia on the tevaplanter with three different methods; replanting, mother plant or cuttings. Cuttings would be the most difficult method to start with. If you choose to use the cutting method, we recommend cutting a long piece which has roots showing. This plant does not need much water and it would be good to let the water level drop, which gives the roots time to dry. This plant has nice white flowers which blooms often in the good lighting condition

Wax Plant

Hoya lacunosa

In the wild Hoya plants grow on the trees, climbing along the stem and taking root in different places. The Hoya family is very diverse, we chose to grow Hoya lacunosa as it has small leaves which suits the shape of the tevaplanter. We recommend to start growing a Hoya plant from cuttings or the mother-plant methods. If you chose to grow through cuttings, make sure to cut a long stem and if there are root tips showing it will be much easier and faster for the plant to grow and take hold of the vessel. Make sure to place the plant in a very lit area with short periods of direct sunlight. It is really easy but requires patience, nature has its own time.

African Violets

Streptocarpus sect. Saintpaulia

African violet comes from the high rainforests of East Africa, where it grows in the shade of other plants and the humidity conditions are high. In nature the African violet grows in moist soil and even on rock surfaces. The key to a thriving African violet on the tevaplanter is to keep the surface moist and the leaves dry. Although it is a plant adapted to shade, it is recommended to place in a very bright area without direct sunlight to encourage flowering. It should be fertilized every other week to accelerate growth during the growing season to preserve the color of the leaves and encourage flowering. You can start growing African violets on the tevaplanter by either leaf cuttings (slow process) or replanting.

Dwarf umbrella tree

Schefflera

The Shefflera is a very big bush/tree, we actually tested it on the tevaplanter by accident. We found a small piece growing and decided to mount it on the tevaplanter surface and see what comes of it. Its roots have wrapped around the tevaplanter pretty fast and the plant itself looks very nice on the vessel. You can find many different types of Shefflera, start by growing with the replanting method with a very small plant or with the stem cutting method after water propagation. The plant enjoys lots of bright light / direct sunlight so let it shine :)

Raphidophora tetraspema

On this tevaplanter we mounted 3 different plants together: Monstera adansonii, Raphidophora tetraspema and a Epipremnum aureum Njoy. The Epipremnum aureum Njoy did not fair so well on the tevaplanter during our testing but the Monstera adansonii & Raphidophora tetraspema took very well to its new home. These plants becomes large with time, much larger in proportion to the tevaplanter which may not be to everyone's liking. These plants enjoy a lot of water and a good amount of bright indirect light. You can start your grow by replanting from a young plant or by stem cuttings.

Hooded Orchid

Dendrobium aphyllum

Originating in Australia and unlike most orchids, it is suitable for growing outside of a greenhouse, it loves strong lighting and will be happy to get morning or afternoon sunlight. It is recommended to plant the dendrobium in the upper middle part of the tevaplanter to avoid excessive watering, and although it is an orchid that does not require a greenhouse it is advised to pamper the plant by spraying water to raise the moisture around it. It is recommended to fertilize once every two to three weeks during the growing season. We keep the water level inside the tevaplanter low for most of the time, to let the roots stay moist without being too wet or too dry. It is important to note that epiphytic orchids are slightly more difficult and a slower grow than most other plants, so those with experience or desire to learn about proper care are recommended.

Barbosella orchid

Barbosella orchids come from Central and South America and most of them love high humidity, low temperatures and medium light. We have good experience growing the Barbosella orchids on the tevaplanter vessel. It’s recommended to mount them on the mid-upper part of the vessel. This orchid appreciates humid environments but also spraying it from time to time will do the job. It is a very small and slow growing plant which is why we grew the Barbosella on the tevaplanter vessel with other suitable plants, which created a diverse and beautiful result.
