    This little gem completely stole my heart! The rich, dark foliage of this Red secret adds such a unique touch to my collection. Compact, elegant, and surprisingly easygoing — it’s the kind of plant that makes a quiet statement. Thriving beautifully with indirect light and minimal fuss, it’s the perfect companion for a windowsill or desk. Couldn’t be happier with it!
