    Features

    Meet Jungle Diva Roxie, a striking Brazilian beauty, native to the understories of the Amazon. Roxie has ovate-shaped leaves that grow in a spreading, trailing habit. Leaves boast longitudinal stripes in an alternating pattern of light and dark green, with rich purple undersides. Nicknamed the “seersucker plant”, the leaves of Roxie show off a crinkled, undulating texture that is as unique as the puckered cotton fabric she’s named after.

    Maintenance Notes: 
    • For optimal performance, keep your Seersucker Plant at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
    • Seersucker Plants thrive in filtered, indirect light and high humidity. 
    • Seersucker Plants prefer moist, but not soggy soil. Be sure to water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry. Ensure good drainage.
    • Feed your Seersucker Plant once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months. If no new leaves are growing, it does not need to be fertilized.
    • Protect furniture when watering & fertilizing.
    • When repotting your Seersucker Plant, use an all-purpose potting mix, with perlite added to ensure good drainage.
