The Chenille Plant is as been a firm houseplant favourite for many. This is due to its vigorous growth habit and hardiness, not to mention its fascinating fluffy red blooms. 

Acalypha is generally considered easy care houseplants as long as they receive their acquired conditions to thrive. This means keeping them out of a cool breeze, providing them with good light with some early morning direct sun, and keeping the potting medium moist.

Over time this funky little plant will turn into a sprawling shrub, adding contrast and quirky colour pop to any corner of your home, or feel free to grow it on a well-protected patio or balcony for something a little different.

Please Note: Acalypha is considered mildly toxic. Best kept out of reach of curious children and pets.
