Also known as Fantasy Venice, this trending plant features bright green, pink & purple, fuzzy-ish leaves growing on chunky stems. Despite its beauty, it’s not a difficult plant to look after, which makes it a great choice for beginners! A fast grower, the Pink Nanouk will begin to trail as it grows, making it a stunning addition to a shelf or trailing pot. We recommend giving it a prune every now and then to prevent leggy stems (particularly in winter), and to promote bushier growth. Simply place your cuttings back into the plant's soil and they'll start rooting.
