🌿 A Pair of Charming Autograph Trees: Clusia rosea 'Princess'

What an excellent choice! You are welcoming two beautiful specimens of the Clusia rosea 'Princess', commonly known as the Autograph Tree or Signature Tree. Each plant is currently around 15 cm (6 inches) tall and settled in a 12 cm pot, offering a delightful and uniform tropical accent for your home or office.

These robust, attractive plants are known for adding a wonderful modern touch to any interior space, thanks to their clean, sturdy appearance.

The Distinctive Look of the Signature Tree

Your two plants are evergreen, guaranteeing year-round colour and structure. Their key appeal lies in the foliage: the leaves are thick, glossy, and dark green, featuring a distinctive oval shape and a remarkably sturdy texture.

The common name, Signature Tree, comes from this unique leaf structure. If you gently scratch a message onto the waxy surface with a dull point, the mark remains visible for a long time, literally allowing you to 'sign' the leaf.

As is typical for indoor tropical plants, the Clusia rosea 'Princess' typically does not flower indoors. However, if you are able to provide truly optimal conditions, you might be rewarded with small, pink flowers. The plant does not have any spines and is not particularly known for being fragrant.

Ideal Placement and Watering Routine

These lovely plants are quite adaptable, making them easy to place in your home. The Clusia rosea 'Princess' thrives best in a bright spot with indirect sunlight. However, it is also highly tolerant and can do well in a partially shaded area, making it perfect for indoor spaces such as living rooms and offices where intense direct sun is often absent.

When it comes to watering, the goal is to maintain a slightly moist soil environment. The plant requires regular watering, and the best practice is to water it once a week, or specifically when the top layer of soil feels dry to the touch. It is crucial to avoid letting the plant sit in overly wet conditions as this can quickly lead to root problems.

Shipping and Arrival

Rest assured that your pair of plants will be treated with the utmost care during transit. We take pride in packing your products in a sturdy box designed specifically for plants. The plants and the soil are protected by a secure cover, and both indoor plants are carefully secured within the box. This ensures that your two Autograph Trees arrive at your doorstep fresh, healthy, and completely undamaged.

Note: The Autograph Tree (Clusia rosea) is considered toxic if ingested. The leaves and fruit contain compounds that can cause stomach upset. Please ensure they are placed out of the reach of curious pets and young children.
