HEMIGRAPHIS ALTERNATA
Hemigraphis/ Metal leaf/ Red Ivy/Waffle plant
The hemigraphis plant is a cascading plant with purple and silver tints. It is native to Java and grows well indoors. It is commonly displayed in hanging baskets or in a box arrangement overspilling the sides.
​
Hemigraphis enjoy bright to medium indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight as it bleaches out the colours of the leaves.
​
Keep soil evenly moist. Water the plant once a week. Avoid overwatering which can cause root rot. Hemigraphis enjoy high humidity, therefor it is advised to mist the plant on a regular basis and/or sit it on a tray of wet pebbles.
​
Use a well-draining soil for potting. Fertilize once a month using liquid organic houseplant fertilizer.
​
Non-toxic to cats and dogs.
