'Numnum' the Dwarf Natal Plum

$ 65.00

I’m Numnum the Natal Plum, a semi-tropical evergreen native to South Africa. I have glossy oval leaves and my trunk and branches look very mature. I do well with salty winds, as I am a coastal dweller. My white flowers are scented and I produce a small edible fruit that turns red in autumn. Keep me in a location that has full sun or bright indirect light a few hours a day.

To water, submerge my pot up to the rim for about 20 minutes and let me drain thoroughly. Do this about once every 5 days, or when my pot feels light again. I like warm temperatures. On nice days in the summer, you can take me outside! 

Symbolism: The natal plum is deeply intertwined with the Earth element, signifying stability and grounding. Its Chi, 'Kun,' is synonymous with motherhood and nurture. An auspicious plant in Feng Shui, the plum is thought to symbolize sweetness amidst the bitterness of life.
