You have selected a specimen of the fascinating Clusia rosea 'Princess', also widely known as the Autograph Tree or Clusia, presented beautifully in a decorative Pink ELHO Vibes Fold pot. This plant stands at a charming 25 cm (10 inches) tall and is settled in a 14 cm pot, ready to add a stylish touch of greenery to your space.
Native to the tropical regions of Central and South America, including the Amazon rainforest and the Caribbean islands, this unique plant brings a touch of its warm, humid origins right into your home.
Distinctive Appearance and Air-Purifying Qualities
Your Autograph Tree is an evergreen plant, meaning its attractive foliage provides beauty and interest all year long. It is renowned for its thick, leathery leaves, which are vibrant green and possess a lovely, sturdy texture.
The name, 'Autograph Tree', is quite literal. You can use a gentle, sharp object to etch names or messages on its waxy leaves, and the markings will remain visible as the plant continues to grow, making it a unique decorative piece. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Clusia is known for its beneficial air-purifying qualities, making it a great choice for enhancing your indoor spaces with a healthy touch of nature.
While the plant is primarily celebrated for its vibrant leaves, it rarely flowers indoors. When it does bloom, the flowers are small and generally inconspicuous. It does not have any spines and is not significantly known for a strong fragrance.
Ideal Care, Placement, and Soil
The Clusia rosea naturally thrives in a warm and humid climate, ideally with temperatures ranging from 21° to 29°. However, it is an adaptable houseplant and can thrive in stable indoor temperatures with the right care.
For placement, the Autograph Tree thrives best in a spot with half-shade (partial shade), meaning it prefers indirect sunlight. It is perfect for use as an indoor houseplant, adding beauty and a sense of nature to any room.
When planting, the Clusia prefers well-draining soil, often achieved with a mix of potting soil, perlite, and sand. Regarding watering, the plant requires regular moisture, so water it once per week. The goal is to keep the soil slightly moist, but always allow the top layer of soil to dry out a bit before watering again.
For best results, it is recommended to fertilize the plant during its growing season (from spring to early fall). Use a balanced liquid fertilizer once every two weeks, remembering to dilute the fertilizer according to the package instructions to avoid over-fertilization.
Delivery and Presentation
This beautiful plant will be delivered directly to you in its attractive Pink ELHO Vibes Fold ornamental pot, making it an effortless and beautiful addition to any indoor space right out of the box.
Note: The Autograph Tree (Clusia rosea) is considered toxic if ingested. The leaves and fruit contain compounds that can cause stomach upset. Please ensure it is placed out of the reach of curious pets and young children.
