Fan-shaped foliage with bold color contrast
Green and dark purple leaves grow in a distinctive fan shape, giving this tropical plant a structured look that stands out among softer foliage. Its rich color adds depth to mixed containers, garden beds, and sheltered borders.
Plant it as an accent or group several together for a fuller display. It thrives in warm conditions and also makes an attractive houseplant in cooler climates, bringing lasting color to bright indoor spaces.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location with bright, indirect light or partial shade and well-draining, nutrient-rich soil. Protect it from frost and harsh afternoon sun.
2. Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Keep the soil lightly moist but never waterlogged, and reduce watering during cooler months.
3. Pruning: Remove damaged or discolored leaves as needed. Trim back leggy growth to maintain a compact, balanced shape and encourage fresh foliage.
4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring and midsummer. For container plants, use a diluted liquid fertilizer monthly during active growth.
