The Medinilla Magnifica Pinatubo is a remarkable houseplant famous for its hanging flowers. Originally from the Philippines, where locals call the plant "Kapa-Kapa," these plants are epiphytes, growing on the surface of another plant without extracting nutrients from it. They derive their moisture and nutrients from the air. In the Philippines, the Medinilla can grow up to one and a half meters tall! However, it won't grow as quickly indoors; as a houseplant, it reaches up to one meter in height. Rectangular stems that feel like cork grow between the gracefully wavy leaves, and large pink flowers bloom on these stems. Once these flowers open, a smaller bouquet appears, ensuring that there is always something special happening with the Medinilla Magnifica!

Care
The Medinilla Magnifica Pinatubo is known to be somewhat challenging to care for, but this is actually not true; the plant is quite easy to maintain. When caring for the plant, it's important to be familiar with its natural environment. The Medinilla originates from a tropical setting and absorbs moisture from the air. Ensure high humidity and mist the plant regularly. Do not water the plant too often; it is preferable to use small amounts. The leaves of the Medinilla droop when it does not receive enough water. The Medinilla also prefers a high temperature and does not tolerate cold well. It is recommended to remove the old flowers once blooming has stopped. After that, the Medinilla can produce new leaves and possibly more flowers!.
