The rare White Bat Plant produces a sinister looking flower that looks like a bat in flight. The center of the flower develops a small bat face. These plants are native to India, Malaysia and some of the islands in the Indo-Pacific region.

Bat Flower,

This review is from: Hirt's Rare Haunting White Bat Plant - Tacca - Exotic Houseplant
I recieved my bat flower from Hirts Garden thur amazon.com. It had a heat pack in the box, but when it arrived it was obvious that it got too cold, and was wilted. I contacted them and they had me send a picture. They sent me a new plant that is doing great. What a fantastic place to order plants from. They really stand behind thier products. Cant wait for it to grow up now and see the first flower. I am very happy with them.

This review is from: Hirt's Rare Haunting White Bat Plant - Tacca - Exotic Houseplant
I ordered this plant and another. They arrived yesterday, and in better shape than I expected (given it's still winter time here) A little wilty from being packaged and shipped but I gave them both a drink and put them in my little indoor greenhouse for warmth and humidity. Today, they looked to be in great shape. (humidity is at 75% and temp is at 71). I'll repot the white bat plant today in a mix of 50% Orchid mix, 40% peat and 10% sand. The greenhouse I have is in front of a west window and the blinds provide for filtered light. (I also keep my Orchids in this spot over the winter and they do well there) From what I understand White Bat plants enjoy much the same environment as the Phalenopsis Orchid. So far I am very satisfied with the plants I got from Hirts. They were a little bigger than expected and seem to be doing ok so far....

This review is from: Hirt's Rare Haunting White Bat Plant - Tacca - Exotic Houseplant
Although this plant arrived in pretty good condition (three leaves, forth coming out), it needed alittle attn. to look like a healthy plant. After repotting and placing in a sunny window, it put out one more leaf then stopped doing ANYTHING. After over a month, I am still waiting to see what it will become. And not a particularly attractive house plant while I wait. I will keep tending it but would not recommend it to anyone.
