Wallisia pretiosa

Wallisia pretiosa exhibits a striking form with long, arching leaves emanating from a central rosette. The foliage, a vibrant green with occasional flushes of pink or red, adapts to its native airy, high-humidity environments by absorbing moisture and nutrients directly from the atmosphere. This epiphytic lifestyle allows wallisia pretiosa to thrive upon other plants without being parasitic.
