Whenever someone sees the Geo Plant for the first time, they believe its not of this world. This alien superstar is called Geogenanthus Ciliatus also known as the Geo plant. Native to the rainforests of South America, this rare pet-friendly plant will add interest and dimension to your houseplant collection. Distinctive and dramatic, the Geo features leathery, shiny, almost black leaves with neon pinkish purple veins. Its relatively a new houseplant for North American plant parents, having previously only been available to plant collectors. Though the Geo may appear to be a Drama Queen, its relatively easy to care for. With proper care, if it’s really happy, it will surprise you with small purplish blooms.
