The Hydnophytum moseleyanum is a fascinating plant, known as an ant plant, native to the tropical forests of Asia.
It is distinguished by its swollen, rounded, and sculptural caudex, naturally serving as a habitat for ants — but without ants in indoor cultivation.
Its leaves are glossy green, oval, and thick, and the plant can form a very graphic silhouette, perfect for collectors of rare plants.
