Autograph Tree
Clusia Rosea
The plant, by the plant
Go on - sign me. I'm the Autograph Tree (Clusia rosea), and my party trick is real: scratch a name into one of my thick, glossy leaves and it stays there, growing along with me. I'm basically a living guestbook from the Caribbean.
I'm wonderfully unfussy: bright light (a little direct sun is fine), water when my topsoil dries out, and I'll handle indoor or sheltered outdoor life like a champ.
What you'll get (no surprises):
- Medium - 140mm nursery pot, approx 35-55cm tall
- Large - 200mm nursery pot, approx 50-80cm tall
I arrive in my grower's nursery pot, ready for a stylish upgrade.
Pets: leaves are for signing, not snacking - mildly toxic if chewed.
Keep my gloss red-carpet ready with The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine, and give me a Pierre Terrazzo Pot in White to pose in.

The tree produces small, white, or yellowish flowers, but they are not showy. The real attraction of this plant is its unique leaves which can be used as a canvas to carve or write personal messages or drawings, hence the name "Autograph Tree".
- Bright, indirect, filtered sunlight.
- Water generously when surface of soil is dry.

Care tips
Autograph Trees prefer bright, indirect light and moist, well-drained soil. They are not drought-tolerant, so regular watering is required to keep the plant healthy. The plant is relatively low-maintenance and easy to care for, making it a popular option for those looking for an attractive and unique houseplant.
Feeding
To get the best out of your indoor plants, you will need to feed them some food. The Good Plant Co Indoor Plant Food will provide all the nutrients they need to grow more leaves and help them stay strong. When the plant is actively growing during the warmer months, it needs a bit more food and water. During the slow growing season (cooler winter months) your plant doesn’t eat or drink as much (no extra winter layer of fat for these babies). Sometimes it’s ok to be a helicopter parent – respond to your plant’s needs. To keep the dust off your beautiful indoor plant leaves use The Good Plant Co Leaf Shine. Moral of the story, if it is growing new leaves then it will need more water and food!
