Gorgonidium vargasii Bogner & Nicolson

Gorgonidium vargasii is a rare and striking aroid native to high-altitude cloud forests in South America. Known for its elegant foliage and subtle inflorescence, it thrives in humid, well-drained environments and prefers bright, indirect light. This species, described by Bogner & Nicolson, grows from a rhizome and is best propagated by division. It faces threats from pests like spider mites and root rot due to overwatering. Highly prized by collectors for its rarity and unique appearance, it remains uncommon in the plant market and may require conservation efforts to protect its natural populations.
