Leea coccinea Rubra - Ornamental Plants Indoor/Outdoor

Description

The lightly fluted, odd-pinnate leaves and its stately, graceful look are entirely different from the “heavy” appearance of the currently popular large foliage plants. Its leaves are a good dark green, firm textured and glossy: young growth shows a distinctly bronzish color.

Leea will do best in a rich, loamy soil that drains readily. It likes ample water, and some protection from too much sunlight, although it should he given a very bright, warm location. Supplemental feedings of any complete balanced plant food may be given once a month during spring and summer when the plant is in active growth. During the winter reduce the amount of water and omit feeding entirely to permit the plant a partial rest.
