The Black Bat Flower (Tacca chantrieri) is a rare and unusual plant. One word best describes it: WOW! These flowers will stop you in your tracks! Tacca chantrieri is a beautiful and very exotic tropical plant oddly related to yams.

A bizarre but quite beautiful plant with aspidistra-like foliage and large, darkest purple, almost black flowers which resemble Batman's cape. The most intriguing features though are the bunches of long 'whiskers' protruding from the centre.

It prefers shade and likes to stay moist but not soggy. The unusual black flowers look like bats with long cat whiskers rising on long stems from the broad shiny leaves. It tends to bloom from late summer through fall, often flowering just in time for Halloween.

🦇Tacca Grow and Care Instructions🦇

For best results, sow seeds in good light at any time onto a good soil-based compost.Cover the seeds with fine grit or compost to approximately their own depth. We recommend germinating at 15 to 20 degrees C. Seeds should ideally germinate in between 2 and 6 weeks although they make take considerably longer.

 

Light

In the rooms for the perennial, it is better to choose places in partial shade, avoiding contact of the flower with direct sunlight. If you plan to grow Tacca on the windowsill, then it will be more correct to select windows facing east or west.

Air temperature

Since the perennial is a tropical plant, it needs to provide a certain microclimate for growth and flowering. In summer, the temperature for the flower should be maintained in the range from +18 to +30 degrees. With the arrival of autumn, it is recommended to lower the indicators to +20 degrees, avoiding significant fluctuations and deviations. It is important for the flower not to allow hypothermia, which for the culture is a temperature below +18. It is important to ventilate the room with the flower, however, drafts are best avoided.

Air humidity

A tropical plant will need to maintain a high level of humidity in the room, for this the florist should regularly spray the culture or use household humidifiers. As an effective option for maintaining an optimal level of humidity, you can consider placing a pot with a flower in a large tray with wet expanded clay or moss. As mandatory measures for the care of the flower, the flower will be provided with a night "steam bath". The essence of the humidification method is to place the plant in an enclosed room filled with steam.

 

Watering

In the summer of the "black lily" it is recommended to provide abundant moisture, the top layer of soil in the pot should be constantly moist. In autumn, watering can be somewhat reduced, and as for the winter months, during this period, the soil can be allowed to dry by one third of the total volume. For humidification, it is necessary to use well-kept water at room temperature.

 

Ground

A loose substrate with good aeration will become a suitable ground for Tacca. To grow a flower, you can use a ready-made mixture for orchids, which is sold in garden and flower shops. Also, the soil mixture for a tropical perennial can be prepared independently. For these purposes, it will be enough to combine one part of peat and leaf land with half of sand and turf land.

 

Top dressing

The flower will need fertilizer from spring to mid-autumn. It is best to feed the culture once every 14 days. In winter, it is best to refuse to fertilize the crop. For this purpose, you can use the compositions recommended for flowering houseplants.

 

Transplanting and pruning

There will be no need to transplant a flower into a new container every year. It will be necessary to replace the pot with a larger container only when the root system of the plant completely fills its volume. The work on the transplant is carried out in the spring. It is not necessary to cut the leaves of the takka, only the faded peduncle is subject to removal, otherwise you can spoil the appearance of the culture.

 

Resting phase

The plant goes into a dormant phase in winter. During this period, watering is reduced, and the indoor air temperature is maintained at +20 degrees. It is recommended to spray the flower weekly to observe the appropriate humidity level for the tacca.

 

Seeding

Before planting, the seeds should be washed and dried well. For processing, it is more correct to use a weak solution of potassium permanganate. After that, the seeds are rooted in a nutrient substrate, and germinate at a temperature not lower than +30 degrees.

 

The optimal composition for growing a tropical perennial will be leafy earth mixed with sand in equal proportions. Deepen the seeds into the ground should not be more than 1-1. 5 centimeters, with mandatory drainage at the bottom of the pot. You can expect the first shoots in 4-6 months. During this period, it is necessary to provide the seeds with heat, without temperature changes,and also avoid excessive moisture. Stronger young plants can be transplanted into separate pots.

A TINY HACK = 5 STAR multisensory dog doy for older dog
Style: Talking Babble, Size: Small, Style: Talking Babble, Size: Small
WATCHED MY 13 YR DOG TURN INTO A PUPPY AGAIN! (A simple hack that made much safer from a 2 star to 5 star with some puppy love & makes a perfect all sensory toy for older dogs) Please read for a 5 min diy hack using the babble ball to make the ULTIMATE DOG TOY UNDER $15. My dog is blind in 1 eye and loosing sight in the other. He is a 13 yr old min pin. I wanted a ball he could track by sound and still play catch. I was excited when the ball came but worried about its quality . This ball would break the first time you threw it, your dogs teeth or the ball :( (internal electronics and ball shell would even Crack on a non carpeted floor). I was going to return it until i saw my dogs ears at full attention wondering what new toy he got for xmas and what kind of owner would i be to deny that face and look of interest I rarely see from him. So i SIMPLY took a tennis ball made an X cut with an exacto knife as well as a few other small X cuts so the sound is amplified (speaker very low) . The small version fits perfectly inside the tennis ball and can now be a safe indoor ball that you can roll or toss and more durable for younger dogs. It has been a hit with all the neighborhood dogs (wish I got commission lol). NOW The ULTIMATE MULTISENSORY TOY USING THE BABBLE BALL!! If you want 2 go the extra step (I am glad I did I have not seen my dog play like this since he was a puppy plus he is 2 small 2 enjoy winter ). I had ordered the hertz bacon scented squeak ball and it's like cat nip for dogs until they destroy it. I also had a rubber ball that looks like the ever lasting godsmacker from willy Wonka that lights up when you hit it. So I took the babble ball which btw has hilarious sounds that really make your dog's want to interact with it. I took a hospital sock with the foot grips on the outside (when rolled it adds random movment from friction as well as easy for dog to grab. I placed the tennis/babble ball first, then the light up rubber ball, followed by the hertz bacon scented ball. I tied a knot in between each ball then added another sock for protection. I left room on both ends so toy could also be used for tug of war. This has been the best gift for my aging dog- not 2 mention his younger brother a min dashound . He is getting so much exercise, especially since it is winter, he even plays tug of war with his brother where they normally get jealous over toys always causing me 2 order 2 of the same toy lol but now they take turns for their favorite new toy. I will try and include pics and a video b/c I'm sure you love your dog as much as I do and with just a bit of effort and about $8 & an old pair of socks you will never see your dog instantly act so young again. Overall by itself this toy is what you get for the price I do wish the ball was a durable plastic or some sort of rubber coating. The best example I can give of the ball it self is a light hard plastic like a cheap kids toy solid but something you would tell your kid they need 2 play with careful and just roll on the floor something a dog doesn't understand . For the price it is a good toy you can make great. So a complex rating: 2 stars out of the box If you view as a part 2 a toy it's 5 stars all the way. 4 stars babble/tennis ball hack. 5 stars as part of an all sensory diy dog toy under $15.

Best toy my dog has had!
Style: Blinky Babble, Size: Medium
Update 11/7/19: we bought another of these today. After multiple battery replacements, ours finally died. My pup was forlorn; even though he has the original and the animal sounds balls, this is by far his favorite babble ball. I keep it stuffed inside another rubber ball, but eventually his drool rusted the metal electronic bits. Still absolutely worth it even though it's loud and makes me bonkers sometimes. 😂 This, and a new box of button batteries, have made him a happy boy again. Original review: I have a toy-obsessed Miniature English Bull Terrier, and he goes absolutely bonkers for this toy. In fact, we have to give it to him in short bursts or he would exhaust himself playing with it. It's by far the toy he has responded most positively to, almost too positively (he wears us and himself out). The ball itself is red, round, hard plastic about the size of a tennis ball. Since it has batteries I wouldn't want my dog to swallow, and I have an aggressive chewer, I took a page from another reviewer and stuck it inside another (rubber) ball so that he's not chewing directly on the hard plastic. This has worked well so far, but it's definitely a toy for supervised play only. It makes a series of sounds (motorcycle, speaking, etc) and turns itself on and off when you're playing with it, so my dog will pounce on it when it starts making noises and then stalk it when it's quiet. It's very engaging for him. I highly recommend this if you have a pup who responds strongly to squeaker toys, but if you have an aggressive chewer, consider putting it inside another ball, and definitely plan on supervising play. This is well worth the price for the amount of joy it has brought our pup.

Dog loves this toy. A lot.
Style: Animal Sounds Babble, Size: Large
Let this be said first. I HATE this toy. It's loud. It's annoying. It scares me in the middle of the night if I walk too close to wherever my prankster dog has left it hidden. Did I mention that it's loud? Now that that's out of the way, let me tell you a few things about the ball I got for my dog for Christmas 2014. Keep in mind that I have an 80 pound energetic young counter-surfing chew-happy Rhodesian Ridgeback. And the ball I bought was a small size. As I may have mentioned, he's a chewer. This toy broke in half today. That is, like, a record for him. He's a tube o tennis balls a week kind of guy, and this stupid little ball lasted him (barely) over a year. He just walks around with it in his mouth giving you goofy looks while the ball makes animal noises and they echo around in his skull. Occasionally he tosses it as high as he can and then chases it after it lands on the floor and rolls off (it's an old house, the floors are slightly slanted, don't judge), which is why the ball broke. He tossed it a bit to high and the seam finally gave way. I was initially concerned because of the hard plastic shell, but after a month of constant supervision I realised that he was okay with the ball and stopped watching so closely. It has also been a source of constant amusement to him. He likes to tuck it away just off of the high traffic areas and just out of sight to his humans. Then, as his humans walk past and activate it and jump 50 feet in the air, there he his. Standing there. Wagging his tail and giving you a doggy grin. You can almost hear him laughing.... Seriously, odds are you will hate this stupid little ball. But, it will totally be cancelled out while you watch as your little buddy does goofy crap with it. Heck, mine broke his 10 minutes ago and here I am, ordering another one, knowing that in a week I'll be cursing again. Don't let your dog play with it unattended, at least until you know whether or not they are going to try to break it into a billionty pieces and eat it. I imagine that it could break into sharp shards. For some reason though, my dog didn't try to kill this one. Hopefully you're dog will like it as much as mine does. Hopefully you won't hate it as much as I do. :)

Nice dog toy but batteries were bad
Style: Blinky Babble, Size: Small
Very cool product as we already had the blue babble one. Our puppy likes to watch it flash and make noise when she touches it. However, upon opening the item the same day we received it and removing the strip so it would turn on, it worked for less than a minute. After taking out the bottom screws, my husband saw corroded batteries. We are disappointed that the intact batteries were not good. Luckily we had ordered a 10 pack of batteries at the same time so were able to replace them and give the toy back to our puppy to play with. Shipment was fast. Item is very durable and both our dogs will have fun with it.
