Pellionia pulchra
Pellionia pulchra is an attractive trailing plant grown for its striking marbled foliage and exciting colouration. The upper leaves display a beautiful mosaic of olive-green and silver-grey, while the undersides contrast dramatically in cream with vivid pink veins. The colouration becomes more intense when the plant receives a touch of gentle direct sunlight.
Ideal for hanging baskets, terrariums, or decorative pots, Pellionia pulchra thrives in warm, humid rooms such as bathrooms, kitchens, or shaded living areas. Its cascading habit and intricate leaf patterns make it a stunning choice for adding texture and movement to any indoor plant display.
