Leaves drooping during sudden heatwave
I really hope my beautiful plant is ok! 😭😭😭 I gave it more water and aerated the soil. Pray for me! #PLANTMAFIA #GregGang #Greggers #Bloodleaf #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy

I assume this will be an indoor plant? Here's a neat little video with info.

@KinderPlants Welcome to the Greg community! You have an absolutely stunning plant! I personally had never heard of it, but I’m fascinated. That color is gorgeous. And I have to admit that I don’t know enough about your plant to be of any help. But your plant is native to the American Tropics, I’m guessing that it is used to heat but it also loves humidity. Iresine Bloodleaf Plant (Iresine herbstii) has a definite WOW! factor to it and is an extremely easy plant to grow as either an indoor plant for a brightly lit room or as a brightly coloured outdoor plant for more sheltered positions in a warmer climate.

Happy Growing

So what did I do. I actually ordered one. It's small. I notice the #bloodleaf. This is great for I'm certain I'll be needing advice when it starts to fight me.🙃

Oh Jessica...I'm thrilled you shared this plant on Greg!! I purchased a 3 pack from Walmart and the growers sent FOUR. I assumed they'd be all beaten up and dead HOWEVER, drum roll...look at these beauties!!!! Not a grain of soil left the pot and only one leaf had fallen off. Thank you Jessica. I intend to devote myself to learning where these guys are from and what they need to thrive!! #bloodleaf #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict
