A gesneriad that has been shared with us by the kind Jon Dixon. Nematanthus ‘Mardi Gras’ is a profuse bloomer with dangling yellow and maroon striped flowers. It has a compact and upright growth form. Hummingbirds love the flowers. An epiphyte from Brazil, it grows well in light, well-drained soil. Provide some shade but not deep shade. Let the soil dry out slightly between waterings. Tolerates light frost and also makes a good houseplant.
