Bloodleaf Plant (Iresine herbstii)
If you're looking for a dramatic pop of color in your home or patio, Iresine is the way to go! These plants come in beautiful color variations and can be grown indoors or out.
Iresine like bright direct light - and need it to maintain its coloring. Place in a south facing window - you'll know your plant needs more light if it becomes leggy and the coloring starts to fade. They appreciate a little extra humidity and should be watered when the top inch of soil is dry. You can water a little less in the fall and winter, but you should never let them dry out completely. To create a fuller, more pushy plant, prune up to half the leaves back to encourage new growth.
Pet friendly!
