{"product_id":"solanum-uleanum-growers-choice","title":"Solanum Uleanum","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSolanum uleanum belongs to the same genus as tomato, potato, eggplant, and pepper, though little about its appearance would suggest the connection. The leaves are broadly oval and softly furred, giving the whole plant a plush, almost textile quality rather than the glossy look typical of most houseplant aroids and hoyas. Coloration runs from deep forest green toward a rich wine purple along the newer growth, with veining that reads a shade lighter against the darker tissue. The effect shifts depending on the light the plant is grown under, which is part of what makes individual specimens worth comparing side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis plant is propagated through tissue culture, which allows Rare Plant Fairy to offer consistent, healthy starts of a species that rarely shows up in general cultivation. Solanum as a genus is enormous, numbering in the thousands of species, and only a small fraction ever make their way into the collector market. Uleanum is one of the quieter members of that group, grown more for its foliage than for the small flowers typical of the genus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt Rare Plant Fairy, this one is grown in our standard chunky aroid and bark mix with perlite, with watering cued to the top inch or two of substrate drying out between waterings. It prefers bright, indirect light and appreciates a bit of humidity, though the fuzzy leaf surface makes it more forgiving of average household air than many collector plants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Plant Fairy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45170091917520,"sku":"SOUL0-NV-1","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/1481\/6720\/files\/SolanumGrower_sChoice-3.jpg?v=1789676067","url":"https:\/\/www.rareplantfairy.com\/products\/solanum-uleanum-growers-choice","provider":"Rare Plant Fairy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
