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.

- 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.
