The Peacock Plant has beautiful green and purple patterned leaves that open and close with the sun. It appreciates a humid environment and will tolerate low to bright light.

Indoor houseplants need a balanced mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to maintain healthy leaves, vibrant flowers, and a strong root system. Most indoor houseplant plant foods will provide the right amount of nutrients for a wide variety of plants. Many include additional nutrients that are beneficial to plants such as boron, magnesium, and manganese. Plant foods come in different forms such as liquid, slow-release, or granular products.

This type of soil mix is ideal for most houseplants because it’s well-draining, lightweight, and easy to handle. A good indoor houseplant soil mix will include ingredients such as compost, pine bark, coir, worm castings, peat moss, hydrafiber, or perlite.

The Peacock Plant is famed for its beautiful, contrasting green and purplish-red leaves.

Peacock plants are in my opinion a fun beginner plant that raises it's leaves with light and water cycles

My Peacock Plant is still going strong 7 months later. I keep it away from a super bright window and clean the leaves if they look a bit dusty. I love the patterned leaves and how the leaves open and close each day.
