Agapetes Serpens ‘Himalayan lantern plant’

Agapetes serpens, commonly known as the Himalayan lantern plant or creeping agapetes, is a unique evergreen epiphyte native to the high foothills of the Himalayas. It features a large, woody, potato-like basal swelling (caudex) with long, weeping, and arching branches covered in tiny, dark green leaves, and it produces pendulous, tubular, lantern-like red or creamy flowers with darker red chevron/checkerboard patterns, followed by edible lavender-pearl berries.
