Known as the Shield Plant due to its large, heart-shaped leaves, this tropical triumph is a beauty to behold. Gliding on pinky-orange long arching slender stems, rippled lush foliage gives this plant a thick, full canopy reminiscent of exotic jungles in faraway lands. Reaching heights of up to 1.5 metres with a 1 metre spread, this plant packs a punch as a stand-alone statement, giving spaces an impressive point of interest.
Horty Hints
Watch the wilt! Notice the leaves seem a little down? Your plant is probably thirsty. A quick drink will perk things up.
Too much to drink! If your plant has brown leaf tips and droplets of water on the leaves, it is getting too much water. Cut back to cure.
Stop the spot! Brown, squishy spots are from overwatering, whereas lighter coloured spots are cold water shock. Always water with room temperature water.
