Ecuador is a Gesneriaceae from (who would have guessed) Ecuador. This species, likely undescribed until now, has also been sold as \u003cem\u003eNautilocalyx erythranthus\u003c\/em\u003e , which is most likely incorrect. The only similarity this species shares with \u003cem\u003eN. erythranthus\u003c\/em\u003e is the large, red flowers. The rest of the plant looks completely different. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.gbif.org\/occurrence\/3860619943\"\u003eHere\u003c\/a\u003e you can see very clearly what \u003cem\u003eN. erythranthus\u003c\/em\u003e actually looks like, and you can immediately recognize that the plant we are offering here is definitely a different one.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOur indeterminate \u003cem\u003eNautilocalyx\u003c\/em\u003e grows to about 40 cm tall and has thick, very hairy stems. The leaves are 6 to 9 cm long and 4 to 5 cm wide, rounded, and very bullate (textured like bubble wrap). They are bicolored with a striking gradient from the raised parts, which are light green, to the lower veins, which are dark green to black. The undersides of the leaves are red. The flowers, as mentioned, are bright red and quite large, about 5 cm long and 3 cm wide. They only last a few days.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Of all \u003cem\u003ethe Nautilocalyx species\u003c\/em\u003e in our collection, this one is the most robust. It grows somewhat slower than, for example, \u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jungle-leaves.de\/produkt\/nautilocalyx-pemphidius\/\"\u003eNautilocalyx pemphidius\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e , but tolerates (short-term) drying out much better. We can't say for sure, but we suspect that this species would also thrive as a houseplant in a partially shaded location.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [\/expand]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [\/porto_content_box]\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will receive a flowering plant approximately 30cm tall in a 9cm pot.
