Caricature Plant

Graptophyllum pictum, commonly known as Caricature Plant, is a striking ornamental plant prized for its vibrant, multicolored foliage. The leaves are large, paddle-shaped, and display a mix of deep green with bright yellow or coppery markings, creating a dramatic visual effect in gardens and landscapes. This plant can serve as a bold accent in tropical and subtropical gardens, often used as a hedge or border due to its dense growth habit.

Graptophyllum pictum thrives in warm, humid environments and prefers well-draining soil. It enjoys partial shade to full sun, with the best colors developing in brighter light. Regular watering is essential, but it should be allowed to dry slightly between waterings to prevent root rot.
