Farfugium japonicum Curly, native to Japan and Korea, is a bold foliage plant known for its large, glossy, round leaves that sit on upright stems, creating a clean, structured look. The leaves are thick and leathery with a deep green shine, and some forms can show spotting or variegation. It grows in a clumping habit, staying full and compact while still giving a strong, tropical presence.
Light should be bright but gentle to maintain leaf size and finish. Place it in an east or north-facing window where it gets steady light without direct sun hitting the leaves. Under grow lights, use 5000K–6500K placed 10–14 inches from the top of the plant. Too much direct sun can scorch or dull the glossy surface, while too little light will result in smaller leaves and slower growth.
Watering should stay consistent with slightly higher moisture than most houseplants. Keep the soil evenly moist, never soggy and never fully dried out, using a mix of succulent soil, perlite, and orchid bark to keep airflow while holding moisture. If leaves begin to droop while the soil is still wet, it points to excess moisture at the roots. If new leaves are coming in smaller or the plant loses its full look, it is not getting enough light. Crisping edges while the leaf stays firm often indicate dry air or inconsistent watering rather than overwatering.

Beautiful plants I always buy my plants through rooted plant shop. that’s my go to shop
The book is done so well. I can’t imagine the time you spent putting this all together. You’re truly a gifted gardener. Thank so much for this. I’ve always gardened outside the house plants and succulents are new for me. So I really appreciate this book and your website with plants in certain lighting. Thanks for helping me succeed in my plants. I also bought a Micah’s. What beautiful plant. Packed nicely and secure. Thank you I’ll be back for more plants. In a true follower from Kansas.
My Black Velvet Alocasia arrived VERY well packaged, healthy and is already pushing out a new leaf! With all the helpful information listed on the site I was able to place it and care for it exactly as it is needed.
This arrived in great shape and vibrant color. Will be ordering again.
What a cool way to discover new plants! I love it!
I am stunned at the Ring of Fire's color. So pretty. She's looking like she handled the trip well and I can't wait to watch her grow.
Beautiful plant. Shipping was great. Plant was well protected for shipping. Even came with an instruction card on what you should do when the plant you unpacked it.
