Acalypha Plant

Best in bright light to partial sun. Stronger light improves leaf colour but avoid sudden scorching exposure.

Water when the topsoil dries slightly. Keep evenly moist in heat and reduce watering during cooler weather.

Use fertile, well-draining garden soil with compost. Suitable for beds, hedges, and large pots.

Prefers warm 20–32°C conditions and moderate to high humidity. Protect from frost.

Acalypha may be irritating or toxic if eaten. Keep away from pets and young children.
