I’m Numan the Natal Plum, a semi-tropical evergreen native to South Africa. Though I'm the same species as 'Numnum' the Dwarf Natal Plum, I have larger and thicker glossy oval leaves, and my trunk and branches look very mature. I do well with salty winds, as I am a coastal dweller. My newer leaves have a pink tint to them. 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 1/2 lighter. I like warm temperatures and live indoors. But on nice summer days, you can even 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.
