#alpinia-purpurata Common flower in the #tropics and #exotic everywhere else. Invasive if growing conditions are suitable. Gorgeous #red blooms and very expensive as cut flower. Rhizome reproduction or by taking mini plants that form when flowers are maturing. They need space to grow, in full sun, part shade, hot weather and high humidity. Not suitable for small containers or terracotta, the strong roots can brake them. #platanillo #redginger #jengibrerojo
