Ansellia africana best grown mounted
Ansellia africana mounted on a tree in my garden.
The roots grow upward capturing falling leaves and other detritous which eventually rot and fertilising the plant.
I believe this species is best grown mounted, but please be warned, Ansellia africana can grow large, very large.
I have seen wild specimens in Africa with cane like pseudobulbs almost a metre long.
Bright light with a rest period is recommended, I've seen them growing in situ in full sun with little to no rain for 6 to 8 months.
Happy growing.
