Description

Purple Waffle (Hemigraphis alternata) is a striking terrestrial plant often used in paludariums and riparium setups, prized for its rich purple, textured leaves with a unique waffle-like pattern. This low-maintenance species thrives in high humidity and indirect light, adding vibrant color and lush texture to aquatic or semi-aquatic environments.
