Apoballis ‘Lavallaei’ (Apoballis acuminatissima ‘Lavallaei’)

This rare aroid has beautifully patterned leaves with deep purple undersides. The pointed, green leaves have silver mottling giving them a camouflaged appearance. Grow in bright, indirect light inside the home and keep away from hot sunlight as this can burn the tender leaves. If grown outside, place in a shady location. Apoballis prefers high humidity and a dilute solution of soluble fertilizer in the summer months when actively growing. Apoballis makes a wonderful houseplant since it holds up well to neglect and is easy to grow and resilient in nature.
