Product Description Of Geogenanthus poeppigii (Seersucker Plant)

Geogenanthus poeppigii, commonly known as the Seersucker Plant or Creeping Inch Plant, is a striking tropical houseplant admired for its glossy, patterned leaves and compact, low-growing habit. Native to the rainforests of Peru and other parts of the Amazon basin, this plant thrives in warm, humid environments and brings a touch of the jungle into your indoor space.

Its oval, dark green leaves are deeply textured with a unique, seersucker-like puckering, often featuring a deep purple hue on the undersides. With its eye-catching foliage and easy-going nature, Geogenanthus poeppigii is perfect for plant lovers looking to add an exotic flair to their collection.

Care Tips for Geogenanthus poeppigii

Light:
Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Can tolerate lower light but may grow more slowly.

Watering:
Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid letting it dry out completely.

Humidity:
Loves high humidity. Mist regularly or place near a humidifier, especially in drier indoor climates.

Temperature:
Thrives in warm temperatures between 18°C to 26°C (65°F to 80°F). Avoid cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C (59°F).

Soil:
Use a well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A mix designed for tropical plants or indoor foliage works well.

Fertiliser:
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertiliser. Reduce feeding in autumn and winter.

Potting:
Repot every 1–2 years or when it outgrows its pot. Choose a container with drainage holes to prevent root rot.

Pet Friendly: ✅ Yes – Non-toxic to cats and dogs.
