Origin
The Nertera granadensis mix, also known as the coral bead plant, is a species native to South America, most commonly found in tropical and subtropical areas. In its natural habitat, it mainly grows in the lower forest layers, forming lush carpets. It is therefore accustomed to shady environments and high humidity.

Characteristics
The Nertera granadensis mix is known for its unique, decorative appearance. It is a compact and creeping plant that only grows a few centimetres tall. The small, shiny leaves are dark green and retain their colour throughout the year. As for flowers, the plant produces inconspicuous white blooms that develop into brightly coloured, coral-like berries. This colour partially gives it its common name, coral bead plant.

Care
Although the Nertera granadensis mix is a relatively easy species to maintain, it has its specific requirements. The plant desires a place in partial shade, as it cannot withstand intense sunlight. The soil should always be kept at a moderate level of moisture, without the roots standing in water. In terms of temperature, it prefers conditions similar to its original habitat, i.e. a range between 15 and 25 degrees Celsius. The humidity should also be high.
