✔ Rippled, pointed green leaves with striking red undersides
✔ Compact, low-maintenance, and ideal for smaller pots
✔ Great for indirect light and doesn’t need frequent watering
✔ Non-toxic and pet-friendly
✔ Occasionally produces tiny cream-coloured flower spikes

Care Instructions:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light – tolerates medium light, avoid harsh sun

• Watering: Allow the top 4–5cm of soil to dry between waterings – prefers slight dryness over sogginess

• Humidity: Average indoor humidity is fine – mist occasionally in very dry environments

• Soil: Use a well-draining houseplant or succulent mix

• Feeding: Fertilise monthly during spring and summer with a diluted balanced fertiliser

• Temperature: Best in 18–24°C – protect from cold drafts

• Growth Habit: Stays small and bushy – no pruning required except for shaping

🌿 Tip: Let it dry out slightly between waterings to avoid root rot – it stores water in its fleshy leaves.
