A tropical flowering shrub celebrated for its vibrant, powder puff-like blooms that attract butterflies and bees. Native to Bolivia and parts of South America, it has been carefully acclimatised to Singapore's climate, where it thrives in warmth and sunlight.
With its delicate fern-like foliage and striking crimson flowers, the Red Powder Puff brings softness, colour and movement to any space. Whether grown as a compact shrub or trained as a miniature bonsai, it offers a beautiful balance of elegance and vitality.
Pet Safety 🐾
This plant is non-toxic and safe for homes with pets.
Fun Fact!
The fluffy "powder puffs" aren't petals at all—they're made up of hundreds of long stamens. These blooms are rich in nectar and are highly attractive to butterflies, bees and other pollinators.
Care Notes
Sunlight ☀️
Loves bright light and performs best with 4–6 hours of direct sun each day. More sunlight encourages heavier flowering.
Water 💧
Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil begins to dry. Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid waterlogging.
Humidity 🌬️
Normal room humidity is fine, though it enjoys gentle airflow.
Tip 💬
Prune lightly after flowering to encourage denser branching and more blooms. A balanced flowering fertiliser every 3–4 weeks during the growing season will help produce continuous flowers.
Size
