Elatostema is a genus of tropical plants that are known for their beautiful and unique foliage. They are relatively easy to care for, but there are a few things you need to do to keep them healthy and happy.

• Elatostema prefer bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some direct sunlight, but too much direct sun can scorch their leaves.

• Elatostema prefer medium to high humidity.
• Feed plants during spring with a balanced fertiliser such as: https://www.theplantcompany.co.nz/shop/product/fertiliser/tree-and-shrub-fertiliser

2. How to propagate Elatostema

Elatostema can be propagated by stem cuttings or by division. To propagate by stem cuttings, take a 10-15 cm cutting from a healthy plant and place it in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the cutting moist and warm, and it should root within a few weeks. To propagate by division, carefully divide the plant at the roots and replant each division in a separate pot.
