Labisia Houseplants

Labisia, commonly known as Labisia Pumila or Kacip Fatimah, is a unique and attractive houseplant admired for its glossy, lance-shaped leaves that often feature intricate variegation in shades of green and sometimes pink or purple. This plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can adapt to lower light conditions, making it suitable for various indoor environments. Water your Labisia when the top inch of soil feels dry, ensuring the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot. Its striking foliage and compact growth make Labisia a beautiful addition to any room.

In addition to its appealing appearance, Labisia is relatively easy to care for, making it ideal for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. It prefers temperatures between 18°C and 24°C and benefits from high humidity, so regular misting or a nearby humidifier can be beneficial. Fertilise every two to three months during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser to support healthy growth. With proper care, Labisia can enhance your indoor space with its vibrant, patterned leaves, adding a touch of tropical elegance and natural beauty to your home or office.
