Plectronia Mundiana Var. Pubescens

Velvet plectronia, scientifically known as Plectronia mundiana var. pubescens, is a strikingly unique plant native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. Its name derives from its velvety, soft texture, which is created by the dense covering of fine hairs on its leaves and stems. This plant is prized for its ornamental value, with its dark green foliage and subtle variegation making it a popular choice for indoor gardening. It thrives in warm, humid environments and requires indirect light to flourish. Despite its beauty, it is relatively low maintenance, making it an ideal plant for both novice and experienced growers.
