Growing Blood Leaf

• Well-draining soil is essential, whether sandy or loamy, with a slightly acidic to neutral pH.
• Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, watering when the top inch of soil feels dry.
• Prefers bright, indirect light or partial shade, particularly in hotter climates to prevent leaf burn.
• It thrives in warm temperatures and does not tolerate cold well, so keep it in temperatures above 60°F (15°C).
• Pinch back stems to encourage bushier growth and remove any leggy or discolored leaves regularly.
• Easily propagated from stem cuttings in water or soil.
• Generally grown as an annual in cooler climates but can be overwintered indoors or as a perennial in USDA Hardiness Zones 10-11.
