Ardisia crenata size 45cm approx.
Description:
Leaves: The leaves are glossy, leathery, and oblong with a pronounced margin that has rounded teeth (crenations), which give the plant its species name "crenata." They are typically dark green, measuring around 6 inches long and 2 inches wide.
Flowers: The flowers are small, white, and star-shaped. They bloom in clusters at the stem tips in spring.
Berries: Bright red, persistent berries appear in clusters in the fall and winter. The berries are about 1/4 inch in diameter and remain on the plant for an extended period.
Plant Care:
Light: Ardisia crenata does well in bright, indirect light. Some direct morning or late afternoon sun is also acceptable, but too much direct sunlight can cause leaf burn.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Regular watering is essential, especially during the growing season. Reduce watering in the winter when the plant is not actively growing.
Soil: A well-draining, slightly acidic soil mix is preferred. A mix of peat moss and perlite or a commercial potting mix for acid-loving plants should suffice.
Toxicity: Ardisia crenata contains toxins that can be harmful if ingested, so it's essential to keep it away from pets and small children.
By following these guidelines for care and maintenance, you can enjoy the beauty of the Ardisia crenata in your home or garden.
