Gold Finger

Juanulloa aurantiaca, frequently sold as the gold finger plant, continuously produces long, orange bracts that enclose a salmon-colored flower at the tips of each branch. A semi-epiphyte, this plant has aerial roots originating from the stems; the roots help the plant cling to the trunks of trees from Mexico south to Chile.

Maturing at 4 feet by 4 feet in size, this plant is easily adapted to container culture. Grow the plant outdoors during the frost-free season in full sun with a little afternoon shade. Once temperatures start to cool, bring the plant indoors into a brightly lit room. If the light levels are too low, the plant may enter dormancy and drop leaves. As new growth appears toward the end of winter, place the plant in the brightest light available until the danger of frost has passed.

골드 핑거 플랜트라는 별명으로 자주 불립니다. 반 기생식물로 멕시코 남쪽이나 칠레에서 온 나무에 착생해서 자랍니다. 4피트까지 크는데, 화분에서 잘 자랍니다.
