Hi everyone, Im hoping i will finally get an indentification here after all this time ive been searching! I bought this plant last year , in Istanbul. Since then ive been trying to look for it everywhere and also find out what it is!!! It has adapted very well to living indoors in both a warm and cool (A/C) climate. It seems like a hardy plant, and i really love it, it keeps expanding and growing leaves. At the base there are at the moment 2 green bulges ,one for each of the stems that come out of it. There used to be 3, but one of them rotted away and if you can see in the photo one of them is about to rot away too... I have no idea what those green bulges are.. Seed cases maybe? The big one has interestingly grown since i bought it...Its as if its extracted all the energy to itself and made the other 2 bulges weak! Can anyone help me out here? Im really wondering how this plant will turn out to be in the following years and how i should be looking after it, or if im doing anythign wrong right now ... Thanx ....:)
Wow yes , so it is!!! I looked up Castanospermum and apparently its also called the Lucky Bean or Black Bean Plant ! Now i also know im growing a potencial 60 ft tree in my house lol :D Thanks soo much everyone,youve been very helpful! You guys rock ;)
The seed cotyledons. They germinate the large seeds commercially so effectively what you have there are seedlings.
