{"product_id":"dioscorea-sp-long-leaf-kalbar","title":"Dioscorea sp. 'Long Leaf' (Kalbar)","description":"\u003cem\u003eDioscorea spec. '\u003c\/em\u003e Long Leaf' is a rather slow-growing vine from the Indonesian province of Kalimantan Barat (abbreviated \"Kalbar\"), which is located in southwestern Borneo.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Unlike other \u003cem\u003eDioscorea species\u003c\/em\u003e in our selection, this variety does not form tubers and is therefore not seasonal. It does not require a dry dormancy period but grows continuously throughout the year. However, it also grows significantly slower than the tuber-forming varieties.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIt is characterized by very narrow, elongated leaves. On larger plants, the upper surface of the leaves also displays a silvery hue, similar to \u003cem\u003ePhilodendron hastatum\u003c\/em\u003e , for example. However, this coloration is not as pronounced in young plants. Only larger plants develop leaves with the typical \"ear-shaped\" markings. The leaves grow to about 20 cm long and approximately 5 cm wide at their widest point. Due to its slow growth, it is not considered a \"weed\" in terrariums and integrates well. It twines around thinner branches and does not become invasive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We can't say for sure whether it can be kept as a houseplant. So far, we've only grown it in our greenhouse, where it copes very well even with humidity levels below 50%, at least during the day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e You will receive a young plant in a 7cm square pot.","brand":"Jungle Leaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56319363154297,"sku":"Dios005","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/8389\/6953\/files\/Dioscorea-sp.-Long-Leaf-Kalbar-05.jpg?v=1764917278","url":"https:\/\/www.jungle-leaves.de\/en\/products\/dioscorea-sp-long-leaf-kalbar","provider":"Jungle Leaves","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
