Rosebud-like flowers form in a cluster above the collar of deep green foliage off and on throughout the year, creating a really pretty effect. Compact and low-growing, it will thrive in a spot that gets lots of bright but indirect light.
Please note that the plant comes in a 12cm nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.

The perfect environment for these plants is bright, warm and steamy, so a bathroom or kitchen windowsill is ideal. Try to avoid cold draughts and direct sun, and ensure the foliage does not touch the window - otherwise it may get scorched. Water the plants regularly (from the base), but allow the surface to become dry before repeating the process. Remove any dead flowers or foliage as soon as they appear, and only repot (into a plastic pot) when the plant becomes root bound.
