WAFFLE PLANT

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.
