View store information

Hemigraphis repanda, Dragon's Tongue, is frequently mis-sold in stores as a true aquatic plant — it is not. It can survive fully submerged only briefly before melting away, and instead thrives grown emersed in a high-humidity terrarium or paludarium. Leaves are green on top with a bright purple underside, in a ruffled, wrinkly texture that contrasts nicely against other foliage.

Skill Level Moderate
Light Medium to High
Humidity High
Soil / Substrate Well-draining potting mix
Type Rooted (Emersed/Terrarium)
Max Height 6-12"
Placement Midground, terrarium/paludarium
Origin Southeast Asia
Other Not aquatic — will melt if kept fully submerged long-term.

Care & Planting: Plant into well-draining substrate; keep humidity high. Propagate by cutting lateral runners and replanting.

Flag: this listing's source content is nearly identical to the separate "Hemigraphis Exotica (Purple Waffle Plant)" listing — possible naming confusion between Hemigraphis repanda and Hemigraphis exotica in the original source material. Recommend verifying both listings against actual photos to confirm they're genuinely different plants.
