It grows as a shrub, reaching heights and widths of up to 1.5 meters. The most remarkable feature of this plant is its beautifully colored leaves.
The plant you will receive has been propagated from my own mother plant, ensuring its quality and authenticity.

The plant is bushy with multiple branches, adding to its visual appeal.
Caring for this plant is relatively easy. It thrives best in a slightly sunny location. It is important to avoid excessive sunlight, as it may cause the delicate leaves to burn.

The plant comes potted in a self-mixed, permeable organic substrate, ensuring its optimal growth conditions.
Repotting is only necessary after a year, allowing the plant to settle and establish itself.
