Goeppertia Makoyana | 12cm Pot

Attractive foliage houseplant . Position: bright but indirect light Soil: good potting compost Rate of growth: average Hardiness: tender (indoors only) Current height: approximately 25cm (+ or – 10% including the pot) Pot cover: choose a 14cm pot cover to give a good fit over the pot The name may not be familiar, but their ‘praying habit’ might be. These popular houseplants have a curious habit of raising and lowering their leaves over the course of a day. It’s also a distinctive houseplant with broadly ovate, pale-green leaves, fascinating dark green markings and red-purple undersides. Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from. Home care: Originating from tropical regions, they like relatively stable temperatures (ideally above 15°C) and a well-lit position that does not get direct sunlight (think steamy jungle!). They like to be kept well watered, although this can be cut back a little in winter, and they thrive in high humidity, so either grow it in a steamy room, mist it with water regularly, and/or sit the pot on a tray of dampened shingle.
