  • Description
    As the name implies the leaves of this small plant have a grey tone, growing in a small ball shape this plant has hundreds of small cascading leaves giving it a striking appearance. 


    Size: Plant 15 cm high. Pot: 10.5 cm


    Light: This plant likes a bright spot but not direct sun, early morning or afternoon sun will be fine but the sun at the hottest part of the day will be intensified when shining through glass and can burn the small leaves. 


    Water: Keep the soil lightly moist during the warmer spring and summer growing months, water once the top half inch of soil is dry.  In winter, allow the first 2 inches of soil to dry out before watering. 


    Temperature: This plant will do well at average room temperature, keep an even temperature so avoid intermittent sources of heat and draughts. 


    Humidity: This plant would benefit from additional humidity, a mist on a warm day, a pebble tray or humidifier can be used to raise humidity levels. Humidity loving plants can also be grouped together to raise humidity. 


    Feed: Use a suitable houseplant fertiliser monthly, dilute to half the strength recommended and never apply to a dry plant. Water one day and fertilise the next. If you see a white crust developing on the soil, it's a sign of fertiliser build up so be wary of continuing the same routine.  


    Care tips: This plant is classed as non-toxic


    Height & Growth rate: This plant will grow in a ball shape with some vines, if given optimum conditions it can become a fast-growing plant. Adequate light is key to this. At a maximum this plant can attain a height of 3 ft when fully mature although its generally smaller when kept as a house plant. 


    Origin: Reported to have a natural range anywhere from the Caribbean to Central America and as far south as Brazil.
