About Triolena Pustulata - Ecuadorian Bullate Melastome

The heavily textured leaves create a striking three-dimensional effect, boasting deep burgundy-to-black veins contrasted by vibrant emerald edges. Under the right light, the velvety surface displays a stunning metallic iridescence. As a bonus, this frequent bloomer produces delicate, starry pink flowers throughout the year.Due to its specific environmental needs, Triolena pustulata is an ideal candidate for closed terrariums, vivariums, and specialized glass plant cabinets where moisture levels remain stable.Care Specifications
