Myrmecodia tuberosa, commonly known as the Ant Plant, is a fascinating epiphyte native to Southeast Asia and Australia. It is renowned for its unique symbiotic relationship with ants, which live within the plant's specialized chambers.

This epiphyte grows on trees, clinging to branches with its thick roots. It has a large, swollen caudex (stem base) that is typically smooth and covered in spines. The caudex is hollow and contains numerous chambers and tunnels that provide shelter for ants.

Suggested in the common name, it has a mutually beneficial relationship with ants. The ants live within the plant's caudex, providing protection from herbivores and also supplying nutrients through their waste. In return, the plant provides the ants with shelter and food in the form of nectar.

Care Tips

  • Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can burn the leaves.
  • Water: Water regularly, keeping the potting media moist but not soggy. Allow the top layer to dry slightly between waterings. Reduce watering during the winter months.
  • Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity levels, around 50-70%. You can achieve this by misting the plant regularly or using a humidity tray.
  • Temperature: This plant prefers warm temperatures, ideally between 18-28°C (64-82°F) during the day and 13-18°C (55-64°F) at night.
  • Potting Media: Use a well-draining epiphyte potting mix, such as bark or a mixture of bark and sphagnum moss. You can also grow it mounted on cork bark or tree fern fibre.
  • Fertiliser: Fertilise weakly, every other week during the growing season (spring-summer) with a balanced liquid fertiliser.
  • Air Circulation: Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.

The Odyssey to own
Format: Hardcover
Even if you don't read Greek, you should be able to see what the original looks like alongside of a fine prose translation in English. My Ancient Greek is rusty, so I have found the accuracy of the English version of great help in re-entering this classic of world literature.

What is there to say? It's the classic parallel text version of Homer. One of the high points of Western scholarship.

Reviers discussing wrong translation
Format: Hardcover
I have read the two earlier reviews. They are concerned with the Fitzgerald translation indicated as the "paperback" version of this edition. However, this edition (the Loeb Classical Library edition) is not by Fitzgerald but by A. T. Murray and is a prose translation as are all Loeb translations of classical poetry. Of course, the Fitzgerald translation is a monumental classic in its own right, but it is not the edition published by Loeb.
