Cercestis Mirabilis

Cercestis mirabilis, sometimes referred to as the "wondrous cerces," may be the ideal choice for a plant enthusiast wishing to spice up their collection.

The jungles of Central and South America are home to this unusual and interesting plant species, which is distinguished by its enormous, heart-shaped leaves and dramatic purple and green colouring.

The ability of Cercestis mirabilis to alter its colour in reaction to its surroundings is one of its most intriguing characteristics.

Cercestis Mirabilis Care

Caring for a Cercestis Mirabilis is quite easy when compared to other tropical house plants. As with other plants, we should always try to recreate the conditions where this plant is found in the wild.

Our care instructions below will teach you how to grow this beautiful plant species in your own home.

Cercestis Mirabilis Light Requirements

Cercestis Mirabilis thrive in medium to bright, and can tolerate lower light very well. Be aware that they are not suited for direct sunlight, which may scorch their leaves.

Cercestis Mirabilis Water

Cercestis Mirabilis enjoy keeping their soil moist but not wet. In winter, we recommend allowing the top 2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering and root rot. 

This plant is not drought tolerant, and extended periods of dryness will cause leaf edges to brown.

Humidity for a Cercestis Mirabilis

Your Cercestis Mirabilis will appreciate being placed in a humid environment such as a bathroom or a kitchen.

They are able to adapt to most Canadian home humidity just fine. You may mist your Cercestis Mirabilis, or place it close to other plants or on a pebble tray partly filled with water.

Temperature

Your Cercestis Mirabilis will thrive in temperatures ranging from 18-25ºC. Avoid abrupt temperature changes and cold drafts.

Cercestis Mirabilis Frequently Asked Questions

We have compiled a list of common questions that we are asked, which should help you learn more about this plant, and how to grow them for yourselves.

What is Cercestis mirabilis?

Cercestis mirabilis is an unusual aroid that originates from West Africa. Cercestis grows slowly and only produces around 4 leaves every year. Like other Philodendron plants, they grows as a vine that reaches up to 10 metres (30 feet) long. They grow so slow that there are not many pictures of climbing specimens.

Is Cercestis mirabilis a rare plant?

Yes. In Canada and many parts of the world a Cercestis Mirabilis is considered to be a rare plant. This is mainly due to the rate of growth of the plant. They grow so slowly that propagating them takes a lot of time.

Is Cercestis mirabilis a philodendron?

The Cercestis Mirabilis plant is a philodendron as it is part of the aroid family. Aroids are from the family Araceae and include common houseplants like aglaonemas, monsteras, philodendrons, pothos, and ZZ plants.

What is the common name for Cercestis Mirabilis?

They are sometimes referred to as an "African embossed plant" and also "African Mask Plant" because of their striking patterns and textures.

Is Mirabilis poisonous?

Cercestis Mirabilis plants are considered toxic if their leaves and stems are ingested. There are some people who cook and boil parts of the plant, however it is strongly suggested you do not do this.

Is Cercestis mirabilis a climber?

Yes, they love to climb, however they grow so slowly that it is incredibly rare to ever see one do so. They only grow 3 to 5 leaves every year, but if you give them enough years they will climb a moss pole or lattice.

What plant family is Cercestis mirabilis?

Cercestis is an aroid from the family Araceae. Other plants in this family include houseplants you may have heard of like aglaonemas, monsteras, philodendrons, pothos and ZZ plants. 

How tall do Mirabilis grow?

They have been known to grow as tall as 10 meters, or 30 feet tall. Because of their slow growth it is rare to ever see them this tall, but it is possible. Please take photos if you see them this tall and share them with us!

Can you eat mirabilis?

It's reported that younger leaves can be cooked and eaten as a vegetable, but doing this is not recommended. Cercestis Mirabilis produce flowers that are used to make an edible dye for colouring on cakes and other desserts. They also produce seeds that can be crushed as a pepper substitute. We suggest enjoying the plant as a houseplant only.

Is mirabilis toxic to cats and dogs?

Like plants from this family they are considered to be toxic to pets. For all houseplants we suggest putting them out of reach of dogs, cats, and children. If your pet eats the leaves they will feel an uncomfortable sensation in their mouth that should prevent them from eating more in the future,.

How do you propagate Cercestis Mirabilis?

To propagate a Cercestis Mirabilis you should

  1. Cut a healthy stem with leaf nodes attached.  You only need 1 or 2 leaves at the top of the stem.
  2. Dip the fresh cut in rooting hormone
  3. Now place the stem cutting in a glass of water and place the glass in a warm location.
  4. New roots will grow, and after a few weeks to a month you can transfer it to soil

Great support staff and perfect fit!
I had a bit of an issue with the reset, so I engaged customer service. Customer service was very friendly and assisted me with resetting the counter. The software was recently updated and is much easier and smarter than the older version. I had a great experience and loved that the kit worked and fit as expected (compatibility met).

5 star review
I neglected to resolve the issue with the ink pad on my printer when it first notified me, so in the process of fulfilling an order for my business the printer decided it didn't want to work anymore, we tried to do a temporary fix but to no avail, had to order brand new inkpad, came across this brand and I am so glad that I did, not only does it come with an extra pad refill it also comes with very simple instructions to reset the waste ink counter, very user friendly, although I did run into a few hiccups and I reached out to them by email and within 24 hrs a very nice Delores answered all my questions and was very helpful, even though I had to switch the USB to my desktop and then dbl checked to make sure it was fully into the printer, a few clicks on the reset program and my printer was back in full performance. I had bought a key for 9.99 previously before ordering from this company and they even offered to refund me even when it wasn't bought thru them. Now, that's great customer service. Highly recommend this item.

Windows OS only, Software Sketchy but works. Use with precautions and do a security scan afterwards.
Ok, I was really annoyed when I found out this waste ink pad causes the printer to be "end of life." I currently have the ET2800, and after 15,500 pages, I got this message. I own a small stationery business, which is why I print a lot. However, I used to work on large multi-function printers that had user-replaceable waste ink cartridges. I called Epson in hopes that they would just send me the part and be done with it. BUT NOPE, they wanted me to send in pictures, then I had to either send the printer in or get a certified technician to work on it. I looked online and found this, along with several videos on how a regular user can replace it themselves. It was easy, with no issues. You do need to physically plug the printer into your computer. OH, and the SOFTWARE is only compatible ON WINDOWS; it does not work on MAC OS and GOOGLE OS. Just FYI. The only problem I had was that the software, which is usually offered by third-party products from Amazon, has a sketchy website attached to it. BUT this was the best one to use because you DO NOT NEED A KEY to reset the waste ink counter. You simply use their application, and that's it. One tip I suggest is to uninstall or delete the application and its folder after you have finished resetting. Also, empty your recycle bin. Then run a quick Windows security scan.
