Brighamia Insignis, also known as Hawaiian cactus, is a truly unique and exotic plant native to the Hawaiian islands. Sweet-scented, yellow flowers when the plant is in bloom and glossy, vibrant green leaves make the plant a perfect addition to your indoor jungle.
However, what makes this beautiful plant particularly special is its endangered status. Brighamia Insignis is on the edge of extinction in the wild, with only a few hundred individuals left within Hawaii islands due to the decreasing number of native pollinators. By having this plant in your home or workplace you will not only bring a touch of the exotic to your decor, but you will also be doing your part to help preserve this endangered, beautiful species.
This hardy plant is easy to care for and will thrive in moderate sunlight and occasional watering when the soil dries out. Brighamia Insignis is a slow-growing plant, while growing bottom leaves will turn yellow and dies leaving specific marks on the stem.
By preserving this species, we are helping to maintain a piece of the Hawaiin natural heritage for future generations to enjoy. By adding this unique houseplant to your collection, you will not only enhance your home’s beauty but also make a positive impact on the world.
Plants which we have currently in stock don’t bloom but some will be soon.
