Characteristics

Tacca chantrieri, commonly known as the Black Bat Flower, Devil Flower, or Cat's Whiskers, is an exceptionally unique tropical plant native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia. Its most striking feature is its unusual, dark purple to near-black flowers, which resemble a bat in flight. Tacca chantrieri thrives in warm, humid, and shady conditions. It blooms sporadically from late spring through fall, often producing multiple flowers in a season.

How to Care for Tacca Chantrieri

  • Light: Partial shade to shady conditions.
  • Water Preferences: Water deeply when the top inch of soil dries out. It requires well-draining, rich soil and consistent moisture.
  • Special Care/Notes: Can be challenging to grow as it needs appropriate humidity and temperature. It appreciates misting especially in dry climates.

To ensure plants are delivered with the most care, we ship plants Monday-Wednesday. Plants purchased after Wednesday or over the weekend will be shipped on the following Monday. Check out our shipping policies for more information. Thank you!

"Just wanted to give a shout-out to both Megan and Cole who planted a new tree for us. It was hot when they were planting but they took time to make sure the placement was perfect. They also were great in explaining the maintenance that will be needed. Very professional and super attitudes…..great employees!"
