GENERAL INFORMATION

• Tacca chantrieri is a species of flowering plant in the yam family Dioscoreaceae.
• It is commonly known as the black bat flower, tiger beard, cat's whiskers, devil's flower

Light

• The bat flower requires warm temperatures but prefers a shady location. Plant it where it receives indirect light, on the north side of a house, preferably in a setting with additional tropical understory plants.

Soil

• Bat flower needs a rich, well-drained soil with plenty of organic matter. Amending soil with peat moss, pine bark, and compost may prove necessary to increase drainage. For container growing, use a rich potting medium with 50 percent soil, 40 percent amendments and 10 percent perlite for good drainage.

Water

• After planting, keep the soil moist and water consistently. Bat flowers should not be allowed to dry out for too long, but make sure the planting location has good drainage.

Fertilizer

• Black bat flowers benefit from fertilizing. Using a liquid fertilizer suitable for orchids is appropriate, applied every week, or use a general slow-release fertilizer.
