It's getting spooky, it's getting scary, and why not talk about some plants that can match that

that mood, match that vibe, you know? Why not? Let's do it. We're talking about a couple

of different plants, a few different plants, that might give you a little spook.

And the first one's going to be the Bat Flower. This one my friend Karina over at Sacred Elements turned me on to. It is

Taka chantrieri I believe. It's very easy to grow as a house plant. The flowers do truly look like a bat, although it looks almost like a bat with whiskers.

Highly, highly creepy one. It is native to tropical rainforests in Southeast Asia.

Shady areas with high humidity.

So a lot of us have spots like that in our garden.

So give that a shot.

Next one can be somewhat pricey. I see this. It can be a collector's item

sometimes. This would be a black elephant ear, colocationia esculenta. So there's a

couple of varieties of colocation plants that are black. This one is a really neat one. It is more of a uniform dark color. It's not a true black. You can also get a cultivar called Black Magic.

It's actually very difficult to have a plants leaf be a true black.

So I would say, the closest you can get is going with this bad boy.

Next up, we have pitcher plants. Picture plants are carnivorous. I guess that's why they're

considered somewhat spooky. It has these tube-like leaves. They have a sort of hood, and then things can fall in them.

I've even seen pitcher plants capture things like frogs or

somewhat small mammals and they make their way through them

slowly over time.

All right, next up we've got Coxcomb.

This is Silosia Cristata.

This one looks just like a brain.
