The Dottie is a tropical long-life plant from South America. With rich deep purple leaves and pink detailing, this plant has an unusual sultriness which is very calming. Their leaves grow in tight scrolls and unfurl as they grow. They begin green and deepen as the plant matures.
Originating from the rain forests of Central and South America, the Dottie likes indirect light, warmth and humidity (which can be replicated through misting).
