Got told it’s a bat plant, is it?


Had them for about 6 years, got pups everywhere in the green house…. is it a bat plant? If so, any advice on getting it to flower? Far far North Queensland

    It doesn’t look like the bat plants I’ve seen but that’s where common names vs scientific names come unstuck. I know bat plants as Tacca sp. (White is Tacca integrifolia, etc).

    Those non leaf bits on stalks are the flowers – or more correctly inflorescence. Dorstenia elata, commonly known as the Mattress Button Plant. South American (Brazil) plant, endangered in the wild.
