Red-stemmed and compact, it forms a tidy, upright rosette that sits beautifully on a desk, shelf, or windowsill — a plant that earns its place through sheer visual delight. Approachable enough for beginners, distinctive enough for serious collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright to medium indirect light is ideal.
