The Medinilla Magnifica, also known as 'Rose Grape' or 'Philippine Orchid', is a flowering epiphyte originating from The Philippines. This plant displays thick and glossy, dark green leaves, with prominent veins. In the spring and summer, this plant produces large pink blooms which, as they develop, become layered and cascade down from the main plant - they remind us of chandeliers!

To keep the Medinilla happy, try to recreate its natural habitat of high humidity and consistent warmth. These grow on trees half way up the canopy, so indoors, they would appreciate quite a lot of bright light, but no direct sun. Make sure to keep the Medinilla consistently moist - they may drop their flowers if left to dry out for too long!

The Magnifica is called that for a reason! Perfect for anyone in need of a pop of colour, or for those who love the flamboyant and fabulous, this is bound to get attention wherever you place it in your home. We think these plants look best when placed in antiqued and classical planters. Green and blue glazes really make the blooms stand out!

How to care for Medinilla Magnifica 'Candy'

  • Lighting: Bright, indirect light, avoiding direct sun. West facing windows or near South facing would suit.
  • Watering: Water once top couple inches of soil is dry.
  • Humidity: 60% and above. Never let it drop below for too long. Avoid draughts and radiators.
  • Temperature: 19-25°C is best. Drop temperatures slightly in winter to encourage Spring blooming.
  • Soil Preference: An airy and chunky mix to replicate its epiphytic growth habit, with moisture retentive properties. We recommend the Monstera & Philodendron mix.
  • Good to Know: Pruning dead flower stems will encourage more flowering the year after. Cut half way down the flower stem for best results.
