With silver-marbled leaves and lipstick-red shuttlecock-like flowers, 'Halios Red' is a superb houseplant perfect for a bright but indirectly lit windowsill, cool porch or greenhouse. Preferring a temperature between 55-61°F (13-16°C), and often blooming for several months from autumn through winter, the attractive, heart-shaped foliage is a treat in its own right.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from. - Home care: Maintain bright filtered light with moderate humidity and a minimum winter temperature of 55-61°F (13-16°C). Avoid draughts and hot dry air. Remove spent flowers (and their stems), cutting them back to their base. Water when the compost feels dry to the touch, but avoid overwatering - and never leave the pot sitting in water for any length of time.
