Ant Plant is a Southeast Asian epiphyte that’s easy to grow, only needing water once the top of the soil has dried to the touch. It grows well in a north or east-facing window, whe re it gets moderate light. In its native habitat, it provides housing for ant colonies since small pathways in the bulbous caudex create an ant condo. Both the plant and the ants stay healthy in this symbiotic relationship. Ant Plant is sometimes referred to as Maze Plant because of the corridors in the caudex. Show more
