Kohleria grandiflora

A large-flowered gesneriad of the Andean foothill forests of Colombia and Ecuador, growing mostly around 1,000–1,600 m. Treat it like other Kohleria: warm days, mild nights, bright filtered light and constant moisture, with a short rest if the stems die back.

Where it grows wild

Little is published beyond the original description; like most Kohleria it is a rhizomatous herb or subshrub of forest edges, banks and clearings in humid premontane forest.

Records span 944–3,000 m with a median of 1,350 m; most plants sit in the premontane belt.
