Baby Plants - Rhoeo Spathacea Discolor

Rhoeo spathacea Discolor, commonly known as the Oyster Plant or Moses-in-the-Cradle, is a houseplant with an exotic look. The vibrant green on top of each leaf is joined by a deep red-purple underside, making the plant very attractive to look at.

The tropical appearance this plant gives off is a standout feature for any indoor home or office space. It is best to place 'Discolor' in a bright space with indirect sun to avoid any fading of the colourful foliage it possesses.

It’s a fast grower and doesn't demand a lot of care and attention. Its compact growth habit ensures that it takes up very little room in and around your home, which also makes this baby plant ideal for small apartments.

Growing your Rhoeo from its baby stage into a mature, healthy plant is all part of the journey that brings joy to all levels of plant enthusiasts up and down the country.

It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.
