Foliage
Features stunning, oval-shaped leaves with a deeply puckered, 'waffled' texture. The top surface has a unique, purplish-green metallic sheen, while the undersides are a consistent, vibrant royal purple.
Flowering Period & Fruit
May produce small, white, bell-shaped flowers on small spikes, but it is grown primarily for its incredible foliage.
Sun Tolerance
Prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight will scorch the leaves and wash out the deep, metallic colors.
Maintenance
Moderate. This plant thrives in high humidity and is an excellent terrarium candidate. It requires consistently moist soil and will wilt dramatically when thirsty, but revives quickly once watered.
Root System
A fine, fibrous root system that is sensitive to drying out. It prefers a rich, organic, and well-draining potting mix that retains moisture.
