☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

The Iresine Herbstii Bloodleaf thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorching. A spot near a window with a sheer curtain would be ideal.

💧 Water

💧💧▫️ (Medium)

Water your Bloodleaf when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Ensure consistent moisture without waterlogging the roots to keep it lush and vibrant.

🌡️ Temperature

🌡️🌡️🌡️ (Warm)

This plant prefers warm conditions typical of indoor environments, ideally between 18°C and 24°C. Avoid draughty areas or sudden temperature changes.

💦 Humidity

💦💦▫️ (Moderate)

Bloodleaf enjoys a bit of humidity but doesn’t require the high humidity levels some tropical plants do. Regular misting or a pebble tray can help increase humidity if needed.

🪴 Repotting

Repot the Iresine Herbstii every 1-2 years to encourage growth. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one and use a well-draining potting mix suitable for houseplants.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

This stunning plant is pet friendly, so you don’t have to worry about it being a hazard to your furry friends.

✅🪴 Recommended Locations at Home

Perfect for living rooms, kitchens, and offices where its bright foliage can really pop. Just make sure it’s away from direct sunlight and in a spot where it can be admired!

🌬️🪴 Air Purifying
