Neofinetia falcata ‘Beniogi’

NOT IN BLOOM

The photo of the plant is indicative

• Rare variety of Neofinetia falcata  (imported South Corea)
• A variety with wide, thick leaves that are gradually arched (Himeba 姫葉), characterized by a marginal variegation (Fukurin). The new leaves emerge with a whitish Fukurin jima and then transition to a yellowish-green color. A distinctive feature of this plant is the appearance of *benikuma*, a red Fukurin on the variegation. This unique characteristic is known as “beni wo matou,” meaning “wearing red.” The red pigmentation becomes visible under intense light. These traits can only be passed down through division, as plants grown from seed produce solid green, non-variegated leaves.
• The direct translation of the term “Beniougi” is “red fan.”
• Like all Neofinetia, prefers an environment with good air circulation and filtered light. It grows well in well-draining substrates and requires a certain level of ambient humidity to thrive. In winter, it is advisable to reduce watering.
