Iresine Herbstii Bloodleaf plant - Height 20-30cm

Bring something truly special into your home with the Iresine herbstii! Also known as the ‘Beefsteak Plant’, this striking species originates from Brazil and owes its unique nickname to its leaves, which resemble slices of meat. Though not widely known, this rare beauty is a cheerful addition to any home and a great gift for plant lovers. After the frost season, it can even be placed outdoors, making it surprisingly versatile. The Iresine herbstii ‘Rich Gold Star’ stands out with its soft green and yellow leaves decorated with vivid patterns and bright pink stems that bring color to any space.

Care
The steak plant prefers a spot with lots of light, but without direct sunlight. For example, the perfect spot is in front of a north-facing window. It is important that the soil of the plant is always slightly moist, but make sure that no layer of water remains at the bottom of the pot. In fact, this can cause root rot. It is best to water the plant in small amounts at a time. In winter, the plant needs little water.

Size
The plant has a height of 20-30cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plant is supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 13cm.
