Question
I was given a plant with a tag on it that states it is  
a Syngonanthus Chrys. "Mikado". It has grass like leaves the
whorl outward and has shooting stems with flowers on the
ends.. The grasslike leaves are only a few inches high, but
the flower stems reach upwards to almost a foot. Is this an
indoor plant and how do I care for it?

Answer
Willow,

Yes, this is a very rare tropical house plant that was  discovered in South America.  It should be kept in a sunny location and the temoerature should not drop below 50 degrees.  This member of the Eriocaulaceae family was described by Ruhland in 1903. It is found in Brazil, growing in well-drained acid soil with lots of water and sun, but it won't stand too high humidity. It only reaches for 15 centimetres, the flowers are gold with white inside, and it can only be reproduced by seeds.

When the surface of the soil dries water it. It does not like to dry out. Fertilize it once a month with acidic fertilizer.  If you still have guestions I suggest that you call the florist that it came from. Good luck.
