This plant is a Clusia rosea (commonly known as the Autograph Tree or Pitch Apple). It is highly prized for its thick, leathery, paddle-shaped leaves and its incredible versatility.

Care Level: Beginner / Very Easy

How to Care for It:

• Light: Best: Bright, indirect light.

  • Outdoor: Can handle full sun once acclimated.

  • Indoor: Can survive in medium light, though growth will be slower.

• Water: Water when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry. It is relatively drought-tolerant once established but prefers consistent moisture. Do not let it sit in standing water.

• Soil: Requires well-draining potting mix. A mix of peat, perlite, and sand works wonders.

*It is generally considered mildly toxic to pets and humans if ingested.

*Be aware that in outdoor settings, its roots can be invasive. If kept in a pot, its growth is easily contained.
