Distinctive Features
- Leaves: Oval-shaped leaves with a striking network of veins. The leaves are a vibrant green colour with a pink midrib and vein pattern, creating a beautiful, intricate pattern reminiscent of a tree of life. The underside of the leaves is typically a contrasting reddish-purple colour.

- Temperature: Maintain comfortable room temperatures between 18-24°C (65-75°F). Avoid exposing this plant to cold draughts or temperatures below 13°C (55°F).
- Fertiliser: Use a diluted liquid fertiliser once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
- Pruning: Pinch back the stems to encourage bushier growth. You can also propagate new plants from stem cuttings.
