Hohenbergia 'Leopoldo Horstii'
Hohenbergia 'Leopoldo Horstii' originates from Bahia, Brazil. It is an attractive plant characterized by its broad and rigid leaves that feature large spines along the edges, forming a compact bottle-like shape.

With the bloom spike taken into consideration, the plant can reach a height of approximately 18 inches. The offsets, or baby plants, exhibit a silvery hue, while the mature plant tends to develop more of a green coloration.
By cultivating this plant in bright light and providing limited fertilizer, it thrives well and takes on a very compact and eye-catching appearance, with a greater emphasis on its silvery tones. Overall, Hohenbergia 'Leopoldo Horstii' is a rare and extraordinary novelty plant that is highly prized for its unique features. It is certainly worth adding to one's collection of plants.
