The Story
Labisia pumila is a slow-growing species with leaves that contrast a shiny olive with bright pink margins. It is native to SE Asia, particularly Malaysia. The leaves are beautiful, and sport serrated edges and are velvety soft! This is an incredibly stunning species and a must-have for a terrarium enthusiast. It does well in moderate, indirect light and moderate to high humidity.
These plants are rarely sold as cuttings, if so, they may or may not have aerial roots. Our rooted specimens will have at least a few active roots and will be established plants. Our plants are grown in high humidity in terrariums and greenhouses, therefore may need acclimation to the average home humidity / environment. Please contact us for acclimation information if you are not planning to use this plant in a terrarium, greenhouse, or humid room.
