Summary
The Never Never Plant is the perfect whimsical addition to your home. It features striped two-tone green leaves with deep burgundy undersides, making it a gorgeous feature in any room. Adding to its charm is the way its leaves move throughout the day to follow the suns movement, mimicking praying hands, in order to maximise sunlight and help photosynthesis. If yours is not doing this, it might prefer a sunnier spot... These beauties are native to the rainforests of Brazil, and are used to filtered sunlight so won't like being directly in the suns rays. Their tropical heritage also means they like a lot of humidity, so mist regularly.
