Description

Labisia sp. Sabah Dark is a rare tropical foliage plant associated with Sabah, Borneo. The genus Labisia is native across tropical Southeast Asia, including Borneo, and grows mainly in wet tropical forest environments. This plant has thick, oval leaves with a deep green to almost black tone. The leaf surface shows a subtle ribbed texture with a soft iridescent sheen, giving the foliage a slight color-shifting effect under different light. As the plant matures, the leaves may become more elongated and narrow, adding a cleaner and more elegant shape to its growth. Its compact form, dark foliage, and quiet holographic-like finish make it a great choice for collectors who love uncommon plants with a moody, refined look. Light: Bright indirect light; avoid harsh direct sun. Water: Keep slightly moist; water when the top layer is nearly dry. Avoid drying out completely. Humidity: 70–90% Temp: 20–28°C Mix: Airy + moisture-holding mix, such as coco/peat + perlite + small bark. Extra Note: This plant prefers stable humidity and warmth. Avoid cold drafts, sudden dryness, and soggy soil.
