{"product_id":"gibasis-geniculata-tahitian-bridal-veil","title":"Gibasis geniculata (Tahitian Bridal Veil)","description":"\u003cp\u003eTahitian Bridal Veil is a delicate-looking but surprisingly tough trailing houseplant from the mountains of Jamaica, related to Tradescantia but finer in texture. Slender, dark green leaves with deep purple undersides cascade from wiry purple stems, and throughout the growing season the plant produces a constant mist of tiny three-petaled white flowers that give it its evocative common name. It is a standout in hanging baskets, where its trailing habit can reach 12 to 18 inches or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in bright ambient light, avoiding direct afternoon sun that can scorch the fine foliage. Water when the top inch of soil dries out, and use a well-draining potting mix to prevent root rot. Tahitian Bridal Veil loves humidity, which makes it a natural fit for kitchens and bathrooms with good light. Keep temperatures above 55 degrees F. It will not tolerate frost. Hardy outdoors only in USDA zones 10 to 11, making it a houseplant for all Oregon climates. Trim trailing stems back by one-third in late winter to keep growth full and prevent bareness at the base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBe aware that ASPCA lists Gibasis geniculata as toxic to dogs and cats, with potential for mild gastrointestinal upset and dermatitis if chewed. Place in a high hanging basket out of reach of pets. Its constant bloom and graceful trailing habit make it a rewarding windowsill companion for the right household.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Langlois","offers":[{"title":"4\"","offer_id":44051689898072,"sku":"076092083","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" HB","offer_id":44051689963608,"sku":"076091050","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/dragonflyfarmlanglois.com\/products\/gibasis-geniculata-tahitian-bridal-veil","provider":"Dragonfly Farm \u0026 Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
