Clusia rosea ‘Princess’ (Autograph Tree)
Clusia rosea ‘Princess’ is a sturdy, attractive tropical plant prized for its thick, glossy leaves and easygoing nature. Known as the Autograph Tree, its leaves are firm enough that you can gently etch a name or message into them—hence the nickname. This compact variety offers a clean, modern look that fits effortlessly into contemporary interiors.
Appearance
The plant features smooth, oval-shaped leaves with a rich green color and a thick, leathery texture. Its upright, bushy growth habit makes it an excellent option for shelves, side tables, or bright corners. Over time, it grows into a full, sculptural plant with a strong, tidy presence.
Care Requirements
• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct morning sun. It can adapt to medium light, though growth may slow.
• Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil dry out. Clusia likes consistent moisture but doesn’t tolerate waterlogged soil.
• Humidity: Average home humidity is sufficient, but it appreciates slightly higher humidity.
• Temperature: Keep between 65–85°F and protect from cold drafts.
• General: A resilient, low-maintenance plant that handles indoor conditions well.
Pet Safety
Considered toxic if ingested by pets. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs.
