Solanum sp. ‘Hairy Monster’

Description

Native to: Ecuador

Solanum sp. ‘Hairy Monster’ is an interesting vine that does well in the vivarium. The deep green to purple foliage and stems are covered with fine hair. It spreads by branching out but the leaves stay small (~1/2″) unlike other vining Solanum species with a similar growth habit. Perfect for a vivarium of any size.

As this species is particularly sensitive to disturbance, we only guarantee healthy arrival of the stem under our healthy arrival guarantee policy. Please understand before purchasing that your cutting might arrive with some or all of the leaves dropped. This does not mean you received a dead plant; the stem is very resilient and it will put out new growth/leaves if kept on damp sphagnum with medium to high light.

To get a cutting started, keep the underside of the vine in contact with a damp substrate like sphagnum moss, without covering the entire stem. Requires high humidity.

Please feel free to message us if you have any concern or question about rooting a cutting.
