Hydnophytum papuanum ‘Ant Plant’ is a fascinating caudiciform species known for its swollen, sculptural base and upright stems of glossy green leaves. Native to Southeast Asia and grown in our Florida greenhouse, this epiphytic plant naturally develops a hollow caudex in the wild that houses ants, though it grows perfectly well indoors without them. It stays fairly compact, usually reaching around 1–2 feet tall as it matures, making it a unique addition for collectors who enjoy unusual growth forms.
