Description: Named for the astounding flower, which resembles not only a bat, but a bat with long, white whiskers! Foliage is similar to Spathiphyllum, or Peace Lilies. 

Bat plants can make excellent houseplants, preferring indirect light, and have the ability to flower in 6 - 12" containers. They thrive on warmth and humidity, so do pay attention to these requirements during the drier winter months.
