Graptophyllum pictum Purpureum C Purple Caricature Plant
This colourful foliage plant is grown in-house and known for its striking variegation in shades of green, cream, and purple. Graptophyllum pictum Purpureum, commonly known as the Purple Caricature Plant, is a hardy and rewarding option for indoor growers looking for something a little different.
What to Expect
The plant pictured is a representation of what you will receive. It is a rooted, established cutting grown in our standard aroid mix and ready to pot up or grow on.
Why We Like It
- Grown in-house: We propagate and grow these ourselves in soil-based aroid mix.
- Responsive foliage: Leaves will dramatically droop when the plant needs water but recover quickly. If left dry for too long, the plant may drop its lower leaves but will bounce back with regular watering.
- Indoor-suited: While commonly grown outdoors in tropical climates, we recommend keeping this variety indoors in cooler areas. Its also reportedly toxic to birds and pets if ingested.
Care Instructions
- Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, but low light may reduce variegation.
- Watering: Allow the top 2C3 cm of mix to dry before watering. The plant will visibly droop when its ready for a drink but dont let it go too long.
- Humidity: Tolerates average household humidity well. Higher humidity encourages fuller, lusher growth.
