Labisia species are small shrubs with upward pointing leaves. They root from stem and leaf cuttings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLabisia pumila \u003c\/em\u003ewas formerly referred to as \u003cem\u003eArdisia pumila\u003c\/em\u003e, and these two names are still being used synonymously due to the close resemblance of the two genera.

My terrariums vary from 85%-99%. Brown leaf edges usually indicate insufficient humidity levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eWATERING\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eLabisia sp plants prefer being in the wetter part of the terrarium but not submerged in water. I use tap water that has been left sitting in open container for at least 48 hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eLIGHT\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eLabisia sp plants need low to medium lighting conditions (partial shade). They can be grown in natural light away from direct sunlight, or under LED light. I have grown mine in both conditions successfully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eFERTILZER\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eI rarely fertilize my terrarium plants because the growing medium is already quite rich in organic matter. Once every couple of month I water it with highly diluted Growth Technology Nitrozyme and Growth Technology IONIC Cal-Mag Pro. In general, watch out for deformed leaves and stunted growth - those are the indications of nutritional deficiencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eTEMPERATURE\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eI am still experimenting with this one. I have recently planted a couple of Labisias in a heated terrarium (23C-24C), and another two are placed under glass domes in room conditions (20C-21C degrees). I will be updating my blog once it becomes obvious which conditions are better for Labisia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jiffy Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51704728944942,"sku":"JP-ardisia-sp-vietnam-rare-plant","price":5335.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0950\/1091\/4606\/files\/ezgif.com-gif-maker-2023-01-23T224603.485.webp?v=1770149180","url":"https:\/\/foliages.in\/products\/ardisia-sp-vietnam-rare-plant","provider":"Foliages.in","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
