'Orange' forms a tight rosette of narrow, lance-shaped leaves that shift from forest green to vivid orange-red when exposed to bright light. The foliage is thin and slightly arching, creating a compact mound rarely exceeding 3 inches in height at maturity. The plant's small form works equally well displayed on a shelf, in a terrarium, or mounted on driftwood.
Blooms emerge in shades of red or purple and appear in late winter to early spring, lasting several weeks. 'Orange' releases oxygen at night, contributing to indoor air quality while you sleep. The plant needs a night temperature drop of around 10-15 degrees Fahrenheit to trigger flowering.
Move it outside for summer once temperatures stay above 50°F; it handles balcony wind and rain without damage. You can leave it up to ten days without water. 'Orange' is a slow-grower and requires no fertilizer, though a dilute liquid fertilizer applied monthly during the growing season supports faster development. This plant is pet-friendly and safe around cats and dogs. It tolerates dry, heated air from furnaces and air conditioning. Rotate it regularly for even growth, as it leans toward light sources. Avoid placing it in direct south-facing windows, where intense afternoon heat can scorch the leaf tips. 'Orange' grows well under office LED lights, making it suitable for desks and small indoor spaces without natural light.
