Phytosanitary Certificate
Common Name : SILVER-INCH PLANT

The gently trailing stems of the silver- inch plant make a striking feature in a hanging basket or pot on a shelf in a bright room.

From spring to autumn, water when the top of the compost is almost dry; in winter, reduce so that the compost is just moist. Mist the leaves every few days in spring and summer |
ADDITIONAL CARE
If you notice a tip or edge burn often with a yellowish hue at the edge, especially on older leaves, it could be due to your tap water. To solve this, allow your tap water to stand overnight before watering so the chlorine and fluoride can evaporate. Remove any yellow leaves to keep your plant strong and growing. Do not use any shine products on the leaves, instead, clean leaves occasionally with a damp cloth
