Product Information
Full details
The Clusia Autograph Tree is an ideal choice for indoor gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, architecturally striking plant for living rooms, offices, or bathrooms. Its primary benefit is its ability to introduce vibrant, glossy greenery to almost any indoor space while requiring relatively simple care routines; however, users should be mindful that it requires bright, indirect light to thrive and must not be left sitting in standing water.

FAQs
Is the Clusia Autograph Tree safe for pets?
While the plant is a popular decorative choice, it is generally recommended to keep it out of reach of curious pets, as many houseplants can cause mild irritation if ingested.
How often should I fertilize it?
During the active growing season in spring and summer, a standard liquid houseplant fertilizer can be applied once a month.
Can this plant grow in low light?
While it can survive in lower light than some other tropical plants, it will grow significantly slower and may lose its compact, bushy shape without sufficient bright, indirect light.
Do I need to repot it immediately?
No, the plant is supplied in a suitable 2Ltr pot and will be comfortable there for a significant period. Wait until you see roots growing out of the drainage holes.
How do I know if I am watering correctly?
The soil should feel slightly damp but not waterlogged. If the plant is in a plastic nursery pot, the weight of the pot is a good indicator; it should feel lighter when it is ready for water.
Troubleshooting
Yellowing leaves
This is often a sign of overwatering. Check the soil moisture and ensure the plant is not sitting in standing water.
Leaf tips turning brown
Usually indicates the plant is too dry or is receiving too much direct, harsh sunlight.
Loss of leaf gloss
Gently clean the leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust buildup that may be blocking photosynthesis.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon receiving your Clusia Autograph Tree, remove the packaging carefully to avoid damaging the leaves. Place the pot on a saucer to protect your furniture from moisture.
Lighting: Aim for a spot with bright, indirect sunlight. A north or east-facing windowsill is generally ideal.
Watering: Check the soil moisture by feeling the upper layer of the compost. Only water when the top layer starts to feel dry to the touch. Always ensure the pot has drainage holes so that excess water can escape freely. Never allow the pot to sit in a pool of water, as this can lead to root issues.
Maintenance: Occasionally wipe the leaves with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and keep the natural gloss visible.
