Sheet of Blood Sure that all have heard hundreds of times Geraniums, mints, aloe vera and other plants and flowers that usually decorate all households of our country and even our (are easy care plants, economic and very grateful with our small touches of attention). If we want to give a different touch to our House and have a large, attractive leaves of intense pink plant we can opt to buy a copy of Hypoestes, better known as blade's blood (due to the pink color their leaves have and which contrasts with its original green). It is a kind of highly branched from its base which has evergreen leaves with oval shape that if we don't take care of properly they may lose its color and so remove all the beauty of the plant.

Its origin is found in Madagascar and is not usually very large (not usually exceed 30cm) Although this is not a problem since the colors of its leaves makes it visible quickly (is one of the species most used in centerpieces and floral compositions along with other flowers and plants creating a space full of color and beauty).


It must be said that although many times the flowers are the most important plants, in this case not so since those that grow in the Hypoestes (tend to be small and purple) don't have any utility or visual interest and so we can eliminate them without fear (in this way the real role and recipients of substrates will be only leaves).

To have it at home should know that it is a plant that loves the light and moisture (you need to spray the leaves each day) and hate cold temperatures (watch out water it with cold water and exposed to the outside when making ice since it may die).

It is also important to know that if we want the plant to look in all its glory we should prune it every few months already if it will not be Woody and their leaves will lose the magic that follows.

It is therefore a plant if we can have at home must acquire, since surely that combines perfectly with the rest of flowers that we have and gives color and originality to our favorite space.
