The Clusia rosea is a splendid plant part of the Clusiaceae family, native to Florida, the Caribbean and Guyana.  Its tree-like growth makes it a must for any luminous space at home or the office!

The leaves of the Clusia rosea are persistent, dark green and shiny. Its silhouette is slender and ramified. If it grants you with blooms, you will discover that though they are ephemeral, its white or pink waxy petals are remarkable.

MAINTENANCE

The Clusia rosea requires good ambient light and a humid environment to grow indoors. However, it dislikes direct sun, which could scorch its foliage. It should be given a drink when its soil dries on the surface. Watering will obviously vary depending on the humidity level of the room and the season. It will appreciate being misted regularly, especially during winter.   

When you take possession of your plant, make sure you assess its watering needs. Before you give it a drink the first time, check the soil’s moisture level to verify whether or not it is moist near the surface. It is best to aerate the soil before the initial watering since it is often compacted to avoid shifting during transit. This also allows it to breathe and release moisture.

Rotate your plant periodically in order to encourage an even growth. Cleaning the leaves regularly will stimulate proper photosynthesis. As you wipe the foliage, inspect the leaves on either side to make sure there are no pests.
