Hypocyrthus flower or nematanthus

Hypocyrthus flower or nematanthus. Care at home. Propagation by cuttings. Ampelous plants. Family Gesneriaceae.
 The genus Nemananthus includes only six species of plants, which are semi-epiphytic and epiphytic vines, shrubs and subshrubs, classified in the Gesnerieceae family. They are most often found in the wild in South America.
 The name of the plant consists of two Greek words: nema - meaning “thread” and anthos - “flower”. This is due to the fact that some flowers of the plant have a thin, long stalk. The colors of the flowers are orange, red, yellow.

 The Nemanantus plant is similar in appearance to Hypocyrtus and Columnia; previously, some types of Nemananthus were classified specifically in this genus.
