Dinosaur plant - Seeds

Labisia sp. 'Dino', commonly offered as dinosaur plant, is a rare species from northern Borneo. In nature it grows in the rainforest understory, suggesting a preference for sheltered conditions and filtered light.

Its appeal lies in its foliage and unusual tropical character. It is suitable for growers interested in understory species, humid plant collections or protected growing setups with stable conditions.

How to sow dinosaur plant seeds

Sow Labisia sp. 'Dino' seeds in a fine, organic-rich and well-aerated substrate. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and avoid letting the surface dry out completely during the early stage.

Place the seed container in soft or filtered light, similar to an understory setting. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them gently and maintain a humid, stable environment.
