The rosebud-like flowers of this pretty plant will often last for several weeks, virtually smothering the glossy green leaves. Compact but striking, it's easy to maintain, but will look great when placed on a side table, windowsill or shelf.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery pot). They do however make excellent potted plants, and if you wish to pot yours up, we do have a wide range of pots on our website to choose from. - Home care: Allow the compost to dry out between watering. Water thoroughly allowing any excess water to drain through into the bottom of the tray or pot cover, then discard any excess fluid. Never leave the plant sitting in water. These plants do well in temperatures from 12°C to 25°C, but keep them away from draughts. To prolong flowering cut off the dead flowers, and pinch out any leggy stems to keep the plant compact. Feed with a liquid fertiliser every 2-3 weeks through the summer months.
- Pets: Harmful if eaten
