Elatostema Rupestre

Elatostema rupestre is a small, evergreen shrub known for its unique leaf structure and adaptability to rocky environments. Native to Southeast Asia, it thrives in humid, shaded areas with well-drained soil. Its leaves are often covered in a fine, waxy coating that helps retain moisture in arid conditions. This plant is popular among gardeners for its low maintenance and ornamental value. Despite its modest appearance, Elatostema rupestre plays an important role in supporting local biodiversity.
