Plerandra

Plerandra is an evergreen shrub or small tree, distinguished by its robust, leathery leaves and understorey growth in humid forest environments. These florae exhibit umbels of small, white flowers, significant for their clustered arrangement. The dense canopy overhead in its native habitat casts plerandra into shade, nurturing its adaptation to low light levels while maintaining high humidity resilience.

Water: Plerandra thrives in humid environments, requiring consistent humidity and moderate drought tolerance. Watering every 1-2 weeks ensures adequate moisture without over-saturation. Typically grown indoors, it flourishes when soil moisture resembles its native damp understory habitat.

Propagation: Propagation methods for plerandra include stem cuttings and seeds, requiring warmth, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Cuttings should be 4-6 inches long, treated with rooting hormone, and kept in indirect light. Patience is needed due to low seed germination and moderate propagation difficulty.
