Iresine Herbstii Bloodleaf Care Guide
Welcome to your go-to guide for caring for the vibrant Iresine Herbstii, also known as Bloodleaf. This bright and beautiful plant is perfect for adding a pop of color to your indoor greenery collection.
☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium Light)
Bloodleaf thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. A spot near a window with a sheer curtain is ideal, where it can enjoy plenty of light without the harsh direct sun.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water your Bloodleaf when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering in the winter months.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️🌡️ (Warm)
Bloodleaf prefers warmer conditions, ideally between 18°C to 24°C. Keep it away from drafty windows and air conditioning vents to avoid sudden temperature drops.
💦 Humidity
💦💦💦 (High)
This plant loves humidity! Regular misting or a pebble tray with water will help maintain the humidity levels it craves. A bathroom with natural light could be a perfect spot.

We’re a small family business with a big love for plants.
From our base in Aberdeen, we pack every order with care and love. Our small size means we can be flexible with special requests, and we’re always happy to help. We reuse packaging, craft our own eco-friendly products, and offer friendly advice whenever you need it.
Really lovely selection of plants photographed beautifully. I had a question before placing my order and used the online contact form. Craig couldn’t have been more helpful with a super quick response which resolved my query completely. My order was delivered on time and the plants and accessories were wrapped so beautifully with thoughtful little extras which made opening everything really special. I even got a ‘wee gift’ with my order and although I was aware from the website that one would be included with my order, it was just another example of a company who really wants to connect with the customers, even though there must be a financial commitment. I found the website full of useful articles and being able to access specific care guides for my purchases has been extremely useful.
The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
Really excellent service. I ordered Dicranum that was delivered in great and 24 hours. Will be using again!
