This species' leaves have deep red undersides which means the plant can deal with a little more shade than others, as the darker colouring helps it absorb the maximum amount of light. The glossy, deep green tops of the leaves provide contrast with the crimson undersides, and the plant will fill your home with all the colour and freshness of its foliage. If you notice its leaves moving, don't panic - this clever plant raises and lowers its leaves according to the time of day and the amount of light it gets.
