FEATURED PLANT: Hyptis lorentziana

H. lorentziana is a rather uncommon species in the hobby. Ranging from Venezuela to Argentina, it can grow up to six feet tall in its natural habitat, but tends to stay much smaller in culture. It is in the Lamiaceae (mint) family. Although not a particularly demanding species, it does require CO2 supplementation, strong lighting, and a comprehensive fertilizer regimen to look its best. Maintaining a nitrate level of 10-15ppm and a phosphate level of 1-2ppm will help it turn purple. It has a medium to fast growth rate when grown in ideal parameters.
