Plant Care
These beautiful trailing patterned leaves are a gorgeous addition to your home. Both easy care and great to look at what are you waiting for.
Botanical name - aeschynathus marmoratus
Origin - Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea
Bright Indirect Light
I like to be in a bright spot away from the sun's direct harsh rays. Try popping me a few feet back from a east or west facing window. Don't put me in the shade as I'm not very happy there.
Regular Watering
Allow the top two inches of my soil to dry out between waterings - why not poke your finger in to check. I like my soil evenly moist and I don't tolerate large periods of drought very week. Ideally water me from the bottom up method to prevent my curly leaves from rotting.
High Humidity
High humidity is key. Keep my leaves moist and I'll be happy. Pop me in a bright bathroom or kitchen and spritz me regularly. Grouping plants together so I can be near my friends will also increase humidity.
Care Tips
During the growing months in spring and summer feel free to give me regular houseplant food. This will replenish soil nutrients and encourage strong growth.
