Acalypha (Copper Leaf)
Mottled copper, red and bronze leaves.
Small glossy leaves on graceful, arching branches.
A classic ornamental tree for large pots, easily shaped by trimming.
Where it grows best: bright, indirect light; water when the top few centimetres of soil are dry.
Care: Keep it in one bright spot; sudden moves can cause leaf drop. Supplied in a 10 inch nursery pot.
Precaution: Toxic to pets and people if chewed or eaten; keep out of reach of cats, dogs and small children. The milky sap can irritate skin.
