    Originating from Ecuador, a warm, humid environment of a bathroom or kitchen is the perfect place for 'Medallion'. This upright, tender evergreen perennial has large oval, painterly-patterned leaves in shades of cream and green with maroon undersides, held on short-stalks.

    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: Originating from tropical regions, they like relatively stable temperatures (ideally above 15°C) and a well-lit position that does not get direct sunlight (think steamy jungle!). They like to be kept well watered, although this can be cut back a little in winter, and they thrive in high humidity, so either grow it in a steamy room, mist it with water regularly, and/or sit the pot on a tray of dampened shingle.
