Description

The Chirita tamiana is a charming, compact plant from Vietnam, ideal for terrariums and indoor plant collections. Its small, soft green leaves form a neat rosette, while delicate white flowers with purple markings bloom throughout the year, adding both foliage texture and seasonal colour.

Adapted to humid, shaded environments, C. tamiana thrives in terrariums, vivariums, and windowsill culture. It prefers bright, indirect light, a consistently moist but well-draining substrate, and warm, stable conditions. Its small size and low-maintenance nature make it perfect for smaller terrarium builds.

With its neat growth habit, pretty flowers, and ease of care, the Chirita tamiana is a fantastic addition for beginners as well as collectors who want to introduce a flowering species to their terrarium displays.
