Palicourea pyramidalis is a tropical shrub from the cloud forests of Colombia, Ecuador, and Panamá that thrives in warm, humid conditions with filtered or dappled light. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain high ambient humidity to mimic its native understory habitat. This specialist plant is best suited for sheltered outdoor tropical gardens or large heated greenhouses rather than typical indoor settings.
