Roses are red 🌹⠀ Violets are blue 💙⠀ these Rose Succulents are AMAZING 😍⠀ and so are you! 🙌⠀ .⠀ The Greenovia Aurea originates from the Canary Islands so they'll definitely give off a tropical vibe in your home. ⠀ .⠀ * R O S E S U C C U L E N T * ⠀ _____⠀ #smartplantcare for #rosesucculents / #greenoviaaurea ⠀ .⠀ 🌤 Best to grow in dappled shade. They do not like hot or dry weather and will go dormant in summer⠀ 🌱They prefer damp fast draining soil medium. Too much moisture or letting them sit in wet soil will result in root rot⠀ 🌡They thrive in temperatures of 65-75℉ (18-24℃)⠀ 🔁 Repot every 2-3 years with fresh potting soil⠀ .⠀ 🌹Try planting a rose for someone special... or just for yourself! 📲Download the Smartplant app to begin! ⠀ . ⠀ 📷 @jcchris

2. Rose Succulents

The internet is buzzing about Rose Succulents. Not only do they look just like roses, they last so much longer than a cut bunch of flowers.

 

It works well both indoors and outside, loves a warm climate and doesn’t need much water.

A full grown Rose will reach 15cms in height!

3. Parasol Palm

This magnificent palm is an absolute show stopper! The leaves are so large that in their native homeland of Malaysia the locals are know to cut off a leaf and use as an umbrella.

The Parasol Palm can grow upwards of 4 feet tall and look absolutely stunning in a huge decorative pot.

4. Burgundy Shamrock

This striking beauty will stand out amongst your green indoor plants. The Burgundy Shamrock is also photophilic - which means it will open and close depending on day or night.

Be sure to keep potted as in some areas it’s known as an invasive weed, most likely because they are so easy to grow and require little to no maintenance.
