DESCRIPTION
Phyllanthus mirabilis (often called “Mirabilis” in Japan) is a rare, collectible caudiciform plant prized for its swollen woody base and elegant compound leaves. Native to Southeast Asia, it thrives in bright, indirect sunlight and prefers well-draining, gritty soil. During its active growing season, water it moderately about once a week, but let the soil dry out between waterings. In the dormant season, the plant drops its leaves and should be watered sparingly, about once a month, to protect its caudex from rot. This plant appreciates warmth, humidity, and good airflow, making Singapore’s tropical conditions ideal — as long as it’s not overwatered. It dislikes cold drafts, soggy soil, and prolonged shade. Because of its unusual appearance and seasonal growth pattern, Phyllanthus mirabilis makes an excellent conversation piece for collectors and enthusiasts, though it’s moderately challenging for beginners. Keep it away from pets due to potential mild toxicity.
Important to know: As plants are natural products, form, pattern and colour will vary.
Stunning Appearance
Mirabilis, often known as four o'clock flower, boasts vivid colors that bring life to any space. These potted plants feature unique trumpet-shaped blossoms that bloom in a variety of shades. You will be amazed at how their vibrant appearance can transform a dull room into a lively environment. Whether placed on a windowsill or a coffee table, Mirabilis adds a touch of elegance and charm to your home decor.
Easy Care and Maintenance
One of the best things about Mirabilis is their low maintenance requirements. These hardy plants thrive in bright sunlight, making them perfect for indoor gardening. You only need to water them moderately because they prefer slightly dry conditions. This ease of care makes Mirabilis an excellent choice for those who are new to gardening. So, you can enjoy a beautiful plant without the stress of complicated upkeep.
Versatile Uses
Mirabilis is not only a decorative addition but also serves various purposes. Because they attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, these plants can enhance any garden or balcony. Furthermore, their ability to adapt to indoor spaces means you can enjoy their beauty all year long. In addition, their fragrant blooms can elevate the atmosphere of your home, making it a cozy and inviting place for guests. Mirabilis truly stands out as a multifunctional potted plant.

Plants
It’s completely normal for plants to experience a bit of stress when they arrive at a new home. This may show as slight wilting or a few yellowing leaves—nothing to worry about! It’s a temporary adjustment period as the plant settles into its new environment, and with the right care, it will quickly bounce back and thrive.
Just like us humans, plants aren’t perfect. They’re living things with their own unique character, and minor imperfections are a natural part of their life. What’s most important—and what we guarantee—is that your plant is healthy and ready to flourish with the proper care.
Just like when you're picking out a plant in person—there's always that moment of, "this one or that one looks nicer?"—each plant has its own unique charm. That's the beauty of nature!
On our end, we make that process easier for you. We work directly with trusted growers to select the best batches, and every plant goes through a 3-step quality check before it gets packed. If a plant doesn’t meet our health standards, we simply don’t send it out.
That’s what you get when shopping with us—healthy, happy plants that are ready to thrive in your space.
