Collection: Clusia

🌿 Clusia (Autograph Tree)

Minimalist elegance meets tropical resilience.

🪴 Overview

Clusia, commonly known as the Autograph Tree, is a modern tropical favorite prized for its thick, glossy leaves, clean lines, and low-maintenance nature. Native to the Caribbean and Central America, Clusia brings effortless sophistication to indoor spaces and outdoor tropical landscapes alike. Its durable, leathery leaves and sculptural form make it a go-to for luxury interiors, patios, and curated plant collections.

🌱 Key Characteristics

• Foliage: Broad, oval leaves with a smooth, leathery texture and deep green hue — can even be “signed” or etched (hence the nickname Autograph Tree).

• Growth Habit: Naturally bushy, upright growth that can be shaped as a shrub, tree, or indoor ornamental.

• Air Purifying: Excellent at filtering indoor air and tolerating a variety of light levels.

• Toxicity: Mildly toxic if ingested by pets or humans.

🌤️ Care Requirements

• Light: Bright, indirect light preferred, though Clusia can tolerate partial sun.

• Water: Water when the top few inches of soil are dry. Avoid overwatering — this plant prefers slightly drier conditions once established.

• Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity but tolerates normal indoor air.

• Temperature: 65°F–85°F; keep away from cold drafts or frost.

• Soil: Well-draining mix; can adapt to both soil and hydroponic setups.

🌸 Popular Varieties

• Clusia rosea: Classic “Autograph Tree” with thick, oval green leaves.

• Clusia guttifera: Compact version perfect for indoor décor or hedge-style planting.

• Clusia rosea ‘Princess’: Sleeker variety with elegant, glossy leaves and slower growth.

🌿 Styling Tip

Pair Clusia with minimalist planters or architectural pots — its clean silhouette complements modern interiors, poolside designs, and tropical patios alike.

💧 Pro Tip

Let Clusia dry slightly between waterings. It’s forgiving and sturdy — perfect for those seeking a luxury tropical look with minimal fuss.
