Tacca integrifolia is an understory rainforest plant. It does well in filtered sunlight. Just don't give it direct sunlight.

I'm further into the tropics than you but I think the same will apply for growing the Bat Plant. I had mine where it got quite a lot of sun at different times during the day. There was incomplete tree cover. The plant was stressed most of the time. So I moved it into filtered sun, probably the equivalemt of 30 to 40% shade cloth, and the plant really improved. I don't think it would like heavy shade.

Sounds good, thanks so much!

Hi
It will get 4/5 feet tall and equal spread . I keep mine in a shadehouse with dappled shade. I have had much better luck with the Black and Green types In Hawaii you should have no problems unless you live on the mountains lol They HATE cold . Good luck one of the worlds most fantastic flowers!!! gary
