Iresine Herbstii make a stunning statement plant. They have bright red leaves with deep red veins. They certainly add a pop of colour to your houseplant collection.
Where do I come from?
I am native to Brazil.
Light
They prefer bright indirect light. Avoid placing in shade as the leaf markings may fade and avoid direct sunlight.
Water
They need to be watered regularly and don’t like to dry out between waterings, so keep soil slightly moist.
Humidity
They love humidity so place it in a watered pebbled tray or place containers of water around your plants which can increase the moisture in the air. It will also benefit from regular misting.
The bathroom can also be a great spot.
Am I Pet Friendly?
For any pet parents out there - this houseplant is non-toxic.
What Size Am I?
