This fun little houseplant will need a bit of coddling to keep it beautiful, but It's worth it. Mist it while you brush your teeth, give it a light feed when the weather is hot, keep it out of scorching sunlight and chilly draughts. It stays small and neat, ideal for indoor enjoyment, so find it a pretty forever pot to show it off.

BTW We get the raindrop common name - the glossy leaves are almost round, tapering to a gentle point, but we don't get the coin-leaf name. Have you ever seen a pointed coin? Wouldn't it wear holes in your pockets?

USES: Indoor plant, outside on a shaded patio, accent planting in tropical gardens. Ideal for terrariums and bottle gardens.
PLANTING: Needs steady temperatures over 10C, and a shadier place in the summer. Plant in indirect sunlight or dappled shade so it gets lots of light but not scorched by sun. Prefers a good quality houseplant potting mix. The plant will drop its leaves if unhappy with conditions.
CARE: Water regularly during the first 12 weeks and once established. Mist regularly if air humidity is low, and during hot summer months. Apply a very diluted liquid feed in warmer months for vibrant healthy foliage; reduce watering and stop feeding in the winter. Remove old flowerspikes when they die.
