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.

Haunting Humanity lurks in war’s reactions.
Format: Kindle
The poem moves efficiently through the myriad experiences that result from deadly conflict with a nameless and menacing enemy. I kept thinking I was reading a rendering of Kafka with the haunting glimpses of the horror of permanent victim hood. Now I must study the Deaf Republic and hope for understanding.

Beautifully written.
Format: Paperback
I read this book in one sitting and discovered that tears are included with purchase. Story is broken up into acts, like a play, and is told completely in verse. Sign language images accompany several of the poems.

What is silence? Something of the sky in us.
Format: Paperback
Maybe the best poetry collection I've ever read. I rarely enjoy an entire collection. I usually like individual poems or even individual lines within a poem. Deaf Republic is a masterpiece. If I ever meet Ilya Kaminsky in real life, I might cry.

Worth the hype on NPR that led me here--I've found my new favorite book!
Format: Hardcover
As an Asian-American creative, I knew I'd love this when I first read a positive review for this online, and I was not disappointed once! The perspective is so unique--a Chinese girl in 1800s Georgia!--and the writing's mesmerizing. I wished this book could never end, and LOVED it for so many reasons: The quick version: -Have you ever read anything about Chinese-Americans living in the Reconstructionist South? Thought not. This book provides such a necessary historical lens into highly underrepresented people and untold stories--and does it with remarkable talent and grace. This alone is worth heavy consideration. -Jo is a protagonist you can't help admiring - she's witty, a nonconformist by circumstance and by choice, and unafraid of getting back a little (or a lot) at people who've done her wrong. -The narrative voice is unlike any I've ever seen before ("Mischief dangles from his smile") and there are great humorous moments. -Great pun one-liners here and there - even Yours Truly, who admits to hating puns, likes how they're done here. -A wonderful and dynamic supporting cast, including Jo's wry adoptive father, a socialite who reveals her cleverness with pepper, an enigmatic Southern Belle who becomes Jo's employer for the second time, and a stout-of-heart black boy that'll melt your cold dead heart. Also a very enthusiastic herding dog. -A climax that honestly almost moved me to tears from the poignancy, but also the deep symbolism of how Jo's actions come to stand for so, so much more in those several pages. -If you like to learn cool new words, you'll definitely learn a few by reading this. -On a personal note, I was ecstatic to find references to Chinese knotting and barley tea, which I've grown up with, but never encountered in print before. Stacey Lee isn't afraid to show how difficult it was to be Asian-American in post-Civil War Georgia: In the opening scene, Jo is fired from her job at a hat shop because of her ethnicity. Due to the Chinese Exclusion Act in effect at the time, Jo and her adoptive father are legally not US citizens and cannot even own land or rent; they're forced to live secretly as squatters in the basement of a family who prints a struggling local newspaper. We also see realistic depictions of other social issues, like the initial implementation of segregation laws (which confuses Jo and her father, as they're neither black nor white), the erecting of Confederate statues, calls for women's suffrage (as well as the emergence of modern bicycles) treated with derision by many women who think the idea foolish, and white suffragists rejecting black women who support their ideals. In all seriousness, get this book. If you have kids, get this for your kids. I rarely write book reviews, but I'm breaking the pattern because this novel is THAT good. Come for the incredibly unique historical perspective that's surely the first of its kind ever published and shines a spotlight on sorely underwritten stories. Stay for Jo's incredible strength, role model-ism, one-of-a-kind journey, and how her story reminds us all not just of the power of devastatingly clever puns, but the power that words give all of us in finding who we are and making the world a better place.

"Luck rides a horse named Joy"
Format: Kindle
What a delightful book! I was constantly rooting for the protagonist, Jo. She grew up without a true mother or father but found guidance and love with a Chinese man named Old Gin. They both found work with an aristocratic family as servants, while living secretly in the basement of a printing company. It was there that Jo learned to read and write through listening to the family who owned the printing press upstairs. She discovers the paper they publish, The Focus is in trouble and decides to help them out by secretly writing a column under the name Miss Sweetie. An adventure begins and secrets are revealed, but Jo emerges as a local hero as a result. I loved the author's prose and they way she incorporated Chinese anecdotes. I laughed out loud and cried in equal measure. It is a story about overcoming the struggle of race and poverty, but also about love and fighting for what you believe in. I highly recommend if your in the mood for something uplifting to read.
