Ardisia Sp pink Line

Here is a detailed description and care guide for Ardisia Sp Pink Line:

Description:

Ardisia Sp Pink Line is a species within the genus Ardisia, family Primulaceae, originating from Asia.

It features lance-shaped leaves with serrated pink edges and either a light green or green leaf center with prominent pink lines running down the center.

There are different types (Type 1 and Type 2) with slight variations in leaf coloring and pattern.

The size and growth form vary depending on the environmental conditions, and it typically grows fairly large.

This plant is terrestrial and should not be submerged in water (doing so will kill it).

Caring:

Care level: Intermediate

Light: Prefers partial shade to medium or bright indirect light; avoid direct strong sun to prevent leaf burn.

Water: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged; water when the top 2-3 inches of soil dry out.

Humidity: Thrives in high humidity (around 45% to 70% or higher) and should be kept in enclosed containers such as terrariums or vivariums or provided with sufficient humidity to avoid browning of leaf edges.

Temperature: Prefers warm conditions between 65°F and 80°F, tolerating slightly cooler but not freezing temperatures.

Fertilizer: Use organic fertilizer from spring to fall monthly; avoid fertilizer in winter.

Pruning: Minimal pruning needed; prune to maintain bushiness as desired.

Adaptability:

Ardisia Sp Pink Line adapts best indoors in controlled humidity environments like terrariums, container gardens, or vivariums.

It can tolerate medium to bright indirect light and some variation in humidity but shows stress signs (such as brown leaf edges or leaf drop) if humidity is too low.

The plant can have variable leaf coloration and size depending on light and humidity conditions.

Growing Conditions:

Soil: Use rich, well-draining soil that remains moist but not soggy.

Container: Prefers a sizeable setup due to its potential size.

Avoid submerging as it is terrestrial.

Maintain a humid environment through misting, humidity trays, or humidifiers; grouping with other plants helps maintain humidity.
