{"product_id":"black-bat-flower","title":"Black Bat Flower","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne for the Connoisseurs! the Black Bat Flower truly is a striking and wonderous looking plant!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis beautiful tropical plant with large glossy leaves is an understory plant so must have a shaded position in a warm humid spot. Keep this diva away from draughts, heating units and airconditioners as the dry air blowing around will damage the foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reward for finding the perfect spot for this rare and unusual gem is the exotic flowers that are produced in late Summer. Looking all the world like a bat in full flight; the flowers can reach up to 30cm across and have long whiskers that can drape to 70cm long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBat Plants are a bit of an enigma; they require a well drained soil but unlike other indoor type plants, they will need regular watering throughout the year, except for winter when they can be allowed to dry out a little- but these plants must never be completely dry as the lack of humidity surrounding the plant will damage the foliage. For best results fertilise regularly with a slow release fertiliser and as Bat Plants do not like to be pot bound ensure plants are repotted into a larger pot in Spring before the next flush of growth happens. Ensure a good quality potting mix for indoor plants is used.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garden Express Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53828266164408,"sku":"P10BPLBLA","price":18.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0928\/0805\/2920\/files\/tree-p10bplbla-black-bat-plant-pplblbatf.jpg?v=1785381207","url":"https:\/\/gardenexpress.com.au\/products\/black-bat-flower","provider":"Garden Express Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
