What Abuta grandifolia is
Abuta grandifolia is a woody climber that moves through the forest floor by seeking out taller structures. It relies on its persistent, leathery leaves to capture light in the lower reaches of the canopy.
You will find that keeping this vine requires a dedicated space for its reaching stems. It responds best when you mimic the constant warmth and moisture of its native rainforest home.
