BRAZILIAN RED CLOAK MEGASKEPASMA ERYTHROCHLAMYS

The Brazilian Red Cloak is super rare and hard to find. This is probably because most propagation is by cuttings only. And, you have to have a mother plant to do this. We obtained two mother plants about eight years ago and have established them here in Encinitas. We began propagating about a year or two ago. This is considered a “bush” but can reach heights of eight feet or more. It blooms red when the weather is more cool – November to April. The terminal leaves turn red and hide the small white blossoms within (thus the “cloak” in the name). The red colored photos are of our mother plants. These can be mail ordered but you have to be in at least a 9A environment to grow it. Cold tolerance is down to about a freeze. We only have a few for sale.
