{"product_id":"remusatia-vivipara","title":"Remusatia vivipara","description":"\u003cem\u003eRemusatia vivipara\u003c\/em\u003e , also known as \"hitchhiker's ear,\" is one of the Araceae with the widest distribution. It occurs throughout Southeast Asia, northern Australia, Madagascar, and tropical Africa. This extremely wide distribution, as well as its unusual name, is due to its extraordinary dispersal strategy. It produces stolons that \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/inaturalist-open-data.s3.amazonaws.com\/photos\/226076483\/original.jpeg\"\u003ecurl upwards\u003c\/a\u003e from the ground, bearing numerous \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/inaturalist-open-data.s3.amazonaws.com\/photos\/226076467\/original.jpeg\"\u003etiny tubers\u003c\/a\u003e . These tubers are equipped with barbs and detach at the slightest touch. Animals passing by these stolons carry the tubers in their fur or feathers for hundreds of kilometers. It thus spreads in a manner similar to burrs.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe plant itself resembles a common elephant's ear ( \u003cem\u003eColocasia esculenta\u003c\/em\u003e ). It doesn't grow quite as large, with leaves reaching \"only\" about 1 meter in length and a height of 80 to 150 cm. Unlike the common elephant's ear, it doesn't grow exclusively in particularly damp areas or even in water. In nature, it is most often found as an epiphyte, but sometimes also terrestrially. Similar to the elephant's ear, \u003cem\u003eRemusatia\u003c\/em\u003e also undergoes a period of winter dormancy, during which it retreats into its underground tuber. Its flowers are yellow and appear in spring before the leaves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e These are the overwintering tubers for sale here, not the tiny propagating tubers!","brand":"Jungle Leaves","offers":[{"title":"Stolone","offer_id":56319117197689,"sku":"Rem001-S","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10-20 g","offer_id":56319117230457,"sku":"Rem001-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"20-30 g","offer_id":56319117263225,"sku":"Rem001-20","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/8389\/6953\/files\/Remusatia-vivipara-04.jpg?v=1764915165","url":"https:\/\/www.jungle-leaves.de\/en\/products\/remusatia-vivipara","provider":"Jungle Leaves","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
