Product description
Baby Hemigraphis Snow White, also known as the Purple Waffle Plant, is a small house plant with uniquely coloured leaves. Leaves are dark green with a metallic sheen, edged with deep purple and with purple undersides. In summer, small, bell-shaped, pure white flowers can also bloom.
Place your Baby Hemigraphis Snow White in bright, indirect light where it will grow best. While these plants can grow well in regular household humidity, they will grow best with slightly higher humidity. Water when the top of the soil becomes dry, keeping moist at all times but never waterlogged.
The miniature size of this baby plant makes it perfect for smaller homes and spaces. It would look fabulous in the living room, as bedroom plants or bathroom plants, but a baby plant is also great as a desk plant to brighten up an office, or to brighten up a small shelf.
It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.
House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
Hemigraphis thrives in high humidity. Use a pebble tray or a humidifier to keep the air moist and prevent leaf edges from browning.
How to Water
Water Hemigraphis when the top inch of soil feels dry. Avoid overwatering, as the plant is prone to root rot. Mist the leaves occasionally to maintain humidity.
How to Plant
Plant Hemigraphis in a pot with well-draining soil mixed with organic matter. Use a container with drainage holes and place the plant in bright, indirect light. Maintain a warm, humid environment for optimal growth.
