Description

The Marcgravia sp. 'Dark Serrated' is a striking and uncommon variety of shingle vine, distinguished by its serrated-edged leaves and deep, dark green tones. Like other Marcgravia, it climbs surfaces such as cork, wood, or stone, pressing its leaves flat to create a unique natural shingling effect.

Thriving in warm, humid conditions with bright but indirect light, this species is ideal for terrariums and vivariums where it can form a living background or vertical accent. Its unusual serrated foliage sets it apart from smoother-leaved varieties, making it highly desirable for collectors and terrarium hobbyists looking for something a little different.

With proper care, the Marcgravia sp. 'Dark Serrated' will establish steadily, rewarding keepers with dense, textured growth that enhances any naturalistic setup.
