Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A handsome low-light foliage plant with shiny, dark green leaves. The broad leaves can reach 6-8" and the leaves are so glossy they appear to be lacquered! The undersides of the leaves are reddish-purple and add a nice accent. Although a slow grower, Piper magnificum is a truly distinctive specimen for the indoor garden. It prefers warm temperatures and tolerates dry soil conditions.
