Description

The Marcgravia sp. 'Small Round' is a compact shingling vine, prized for its tiny, perfectly rounded leaves that press tightly against climbing surfaces. As the plant grows, the neat, overlapping foliage forms a natural living mosaic, making it ideal for terrarium backdrops and vertical accents.

This variety thrives in warm, humid environments with bright but indirect light. Provide vertical structures such as cork bark, wood, or stone, along with a moisture-retentive substrate, and it will establish steadily. Its smaller leaves make it particularly well suited to nano and mid-sized terrariums, where it creates a refined, scaled-down look without overwhelming the enclosure.

Popular among collectors for its tidy growth habit and miniature charm, the Marcgravia sp. 'Small Round' is an excellent choice for bioactive setups and rare plant enthusiasts looking for subtle, detailed greenery.
