Why we love this plant!

With its striking deep red new leaves that mature to dark green, this hardy and low-maintenance plant adds a lush, tropical feel to gardens, patios, and indoor spaces. Thriving in South East Queensland’s warm and humid climate, it performs well in shaded garden beds or as a container plant. Its bold foliage provides year-round greenery, making it a fantastic choice for adding contrast and structure to tropical or modern landscapes. Drought-tolerant once established, it’s a resilient plant that requires minimal care, perfect for busy gardeners.

Care Considerations

  • Requires moderate watering—keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Mulching preferences:

  • Applying organic mulch may help retain soil moisture and suppress weeds, particularly for outdoor plants.

Fertilising preferences:

  • A balanced, water-soluble fertiliser during the growing season may encourage strong growth.

Pruning preferences:

  • Minimal pruning required—mostly to remove dead or yellowing leaves.

Good to Know:
