Overview

The leaves of this showy plant are a deep purple-flushed green on the top with a maroon reverse. This gives them a really nice bicoloured effect, so even when not in flower, the plant will hold its own in the room. Having said that, it is the flowers that are the real stars. They top long stems and are a bright orange colour that really glows - and each one can last up to 3 months. 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: 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.
