Red Ivy – Hemigraphis alternata ❤️🍃

Red Ivy, sometimes called Purple Waffle Plant, is a striking foliage plant with crinkled, textured leaves in deep shades of burgundy, purple, and green. It's compact, fast-growing, and brings a splash of rich colour to your indoor jungle or shady outdoor spaces in warmer months.

Key Features:

✔ Beautiful metallic purple-red foliage with unique leaf texture
✔ Compact and bushy – great for tabletops, terrariums, or low shelves
✔ Known for helping improve indoor air quality
✔ Works well in mixed containers or hanging baskets
✔ Can be grown outdoors in summer or kept year-round as a houseplant

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light – too much sun can fade the colour

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged – don’t let it dry out completely

• Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity – mist regularly or place near a pebble tray

• Soil: Use a light, well-draining compost

• Feeding: Feed monthly in spring/summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser

• Temperature: Keep above 15°C – it’s sensitive to cold drafts

• Pruning: Trim regularly to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth

🌿 Tip: Pinch out leggy stems to promote a fuller plant and deeper colour.
