Bat Flower Plant, Black Tacca chantrieri

The “Bat Flower” plant, Tacca chantrieri is native to the understory tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia including Thailand, Malaysia, and southern China.

Bat flowers are unusual with somewhat batwing-shaped lobes. The widely flared bracts mimic the look of a bat's wings in flight and the rounded lobed blooms beneath appear to be the body. The large flowers have long cat-like 'whiskers' that can grow up to 28 inches long. The plant itself grows to 24"-36" tall with long stems and broad shiny leaves. 

Tacca’s are understory plants preferring at least 40-60% shade. They're perfectly happy and fast growers indoors with enough humidity. Well-draining slightly acidic peat / perlite / pine bark based potting mix with very good drainage is a must when growing this plant. Soil should remain somewhat moist on a continual basis but never allowed to get soggy. During dormancy in autumn and winter the plant should be allowed to dry out slightly. Humidity should be supplemented with pebble trays, daily misting and/or a humidifier. Tacca's grow best with good air circulation and bright indirect light. They enjoy warm temperatures and are challenged by anything below 40 F. First flowers will appear after development of at least 3 to 4 leaves and may bloom up to 8 times in one season. Except during the dormant winter months, Tacca's should be fed every two weeks for maximum health. They’re largely pest and disease free - although snails and slugs can be bothersome.  
 
Not the easiest plant to grow but the breathtaking reward of a flowering Tacca Bat Flower plant is well worth the effort!

Impressive
Style: Updated Formula
Nice thick cream! I even saw results (skin improvement) within days. I like this way better than their Cicalfate+, as it’s easier to rub in, less greasy, and doesn’t have the water vs cream separation issue. I’m not a huge fan of the pump top for this one, but at least it’s a tube instead of a solid canister (where you can’t see how much is left or get to the last bit).

Excellent for my sensitive skin and rosacea
Another excellent product from this brand. I have type 1 rosacea on my cheeks, even when I avoid triggers (like red wine, warm weather, etc.), and very sensitive skin overall. I've been using the cicalfate serum from this brand for the sensitivity, but it didn't help the redness. After two weeks of using this twice daily, I noticed a significant difference. After a month, I had no redness unless I encountered a trigger. Even then, the intensity of the redness seemed less. I tried going without this product for a month when the first bottle ran out, and sadly, the redness started coming back within a cycle of weeks. I've got this on auto-delivery now, along with the cicalfate serum. I never want to be without it!

Best moisturizer for sensitive skin
I have very sensitive skin and have tried many products over the years. This is by far the best daily moisturizer. I don’t wear makeup other than under eye concealer. This keeps my skin looking and feeling great. Not greasy. One bottle lasts about a month. I have probably bought this 10 times in the past year.

Not as good as the antirougeurs cream
I used to use the Antirougeurs cream and loved it but since they no longer make it, I had to switch. I have been using the redness expert cream for a week and it makes my face even redder. I also started to break out. The texture is good but I don’t think it works like the other cream.
