How to Grow and Care for Basket plant

Basket plant is characterized by its low growth habit and leaves that are waxy, green, and can reach lengths of 6 to 10 inches (15-25 cm). The leaves are arranged alternately and overlap in a manner that creates a rosette-like appearance. On their underside and upper margins, the leaves exhibit a purplish hue, more pronounced when exposed to bright light. It has trailing stems that may extend along the ground or ascend with support. On the rare occasion it blooms, this plant produces small, white flowers that exude a pleasant fragrance and are grouped in clusters of three within terminal panicles. When cultivated, it requires well-drained, regularly watered soil and thrives in partial sun to shaded areas. Growth patterns vary based on light exposure, with the plant lying more flat in bright light, and adopting an upright stance in shadier conditions.
