The Story
Plant Bio
Remusatia hookeriana is a perennial tuberous plant, often growing as an epiphyte on trees or a lithophyte on mossy rocks. It features broad, heart-shaped leaves and goes dormant in winter. This species is notable for producing long, leafless stolons (runners) that bear clusters of tiny bulbils. These bulbils easily detach and help the plant propagate, a characteristic trait of the Remusatia genus.
