Autograph Clusia

Autograph Plant (Clusia rosea)

Tough, Tropical, and Uniquely Interactive

The Autograph Clusia is a striking, low-maintenance evergreen shrub known for its thick, leathery green leaves—sturdy enough to etch your name or a message into (hence the name “Autograph” plant). Native to tropical regions, it’s ideal for Central Florida’s climate, thriving in sun or partial shade and tolerating drought, salt, and sandy soil.

Growing Tips:

• Light: Full sun to partial shade

• Water: Low to moderate; drought-tolerant once established

• Soil: Well-draining; adaptable to sandy or loamy soils

• Growth Habit: Can grow as a shrub or small tree (up to 20+ ft if unpruned)

Perfect for privacy hedges, modern landscapes, or container growing, Clusia adds bold texture and lush greenery to any space—with minimal fuss
