Summary
This timeless favourite is known for its shiny, deep green leaf clusters that resemble tiny umbrellas. Add a fresh burst of greenery to side tables or bookshelves. This compact variety is ideal for smaller spaces or those looking for a *tidy* yet bushy looking houseplant. Thriving in bright indirect light, it will tolerate low light and does not need much water, making it one of the most adaptable houseplants on the market. They can be shy when they first move in and settle down, so don’t be alarmed if they drop a few leaves - it will bounce back happier than ever.
