![Alpinia Waimanalo [hort]](https://www.glasshouseworks.com/image/cache/data/images12/Alpinia_Waimanello-max-500.jpg "Alpinia Waimanalo [hort]")
Clumping showy ginger with fluted, seersuckered leaves dramatically chevroned with alternate wide cream and slim lime bands. May be A. formosana 'Pinstripe.' While tolerant of harsher conditions as a houseplant; most dramatic and successful for us only in the high humidity and constant warmth of the warm tropical greenhouse (and most dramatic in a large wardian case); especially flourishing when sitting in a low saucer of warm water--foliage is so very extravagantly variegated that one needs to carefully guard against possible spidermite attack as well as any unexpected chill. For the serious variegate collector with a reliably warm nook.

| Cultural Code | TGH HP |
Some of you grow only indoors, some only in terrariums; many of you have hobby greenhouses; while a growing number of customers live in subtropical or tropical areas of the world. These brief codes are an attempt to suggest whether or not a particular plant will do well in your particular conditions.
If an entry has the cluster HP CGH, this means normal house plant culture will be successful if the plant is given a cool CGH moist location; however if the entry has the cluster CGH HP, you would interpret this to suggest that while Cool Greenhouse conditions are needed for total success with this plant, House Plant conditions will be adequate, while not ideal. If the cluster is HH CGH you would interpret this to mean that while in Zone 8 or below this will be winter hardy outdoor, further north it will need considerable mulch, a cold frame, or a Cool Greenhouse to thrive. And so on.
