- ² Cyprus, Greece & Malta: delivery is possible, but courier reliability can vary; arrival times and plant condition cannot be guaranteed. Our 28-day guarantee does not apply to plants shipped to these destinations due to unpredictable transit times.
- Curated selection:
Every plant is hand‑picked for health and visual appeal, so you receive a strong, well‑established plant.
- Representative photos:
Product images show a typical plant of this variety. Natural differences in leaf number, shape or variegation are normal – your plant will still match in type and quality.
- Size details:
Listed sizes refer to pot diameter (cm) and approximate overall height (cm) from the base of the pot to the tallest leaf or stem.

How to read these metrics
These metrics are standardised reference points. We compile them by reviewing and cross-checking multiple botanical and horticultural references, then refining them through real-world growing experience. Source links: Plant Care Resources.
Please use the values as guidance. Conditions vary by home, so the same plant can respond differently. For plant-specific context, read the full product description and browse our Plant Care Guides.
- Light: level + approximate lux at leaf level;
- Watering: “% dry” is the trigger before watering again; lower % stays more evenly moist.
- Potting mix: one-line profile (structure/drainage • moisture buffer • base • particle size).
- Temperature: “Ideal” comfort range; “Avoid below” marks higher stress risk.
- Humidity: target bands (Normal/Moist/Humid); consistency usually matters most.
- Growth habit: growth form (rosette, trailing, climbing) for placement and training.
- Support: needed/optional/none — whether stake, pole, or trellis improves structure and size.
- Growth speed: fast/average/slow under decent indoor conditions—expectations, not a promise.
- Max size indoors: realistic long-term potential; format differs for climbers vs. trailers.

Pursegloveia minima – miniature Bornean aroid with linear-lanceolate leaves
Pursegloveia minima (H.Okada) S.Y.Wong and P.C.Boyce, published in Webbia 73: 69 (2018). Basionym: Aridarum minimum H.Okada.
Pursegloveia minima is a tiny, creeping aroid from Borneo. A shallow, rooting rhizome sends out short petioles bearing narrow, linear-lanceolate blades. Marginal veins are prominently raised, giving each leaf a fine, architectural look. Compact growth and humidity love make it a strong candidate for terrariums and close-up displays.
What sets Pursegloveia minima apart
- Creeping habit: Rhizome creeps and roots as it advances, forming small colonies.
- Leaf form: Narrow blades with clearly raised marginal veins; clean, minimalist look.
- Footprint: Truly miniature; ideal where space and scale matter.
Natural context
Native to humid lowland rainforest in Borneo, often near wet, shaded microhabitats. Conditions are warm, consistently moist, and low-light–match these indoors for best results.
Care guide
- Light: Low to medium indirect light; avoid direct sun.
- Water: Keep substrate evenly moist with free drainage; don’t let the rhizome sit in stagnant, waterlogged media.
- Humidity: Medium – high humidity helps prevent edge crisping.
- Substrate: Airy aroid mix (fine bark, mineral components, and a bit of organic matter). Shallow, wider pots suit a creeping rhizome.
- Feeding: Balanced fertilizer at regular intervals; light doses are sufficient for a miniature species.
Typical issues and fixes
- Rhizome rot: Caused by saturated media–reduce water, increase aeration.
- Leggy petioles: Often too little light–move closer to bright, indirect light.
- Brown edges: Low humidity or salt build-up–raise humidity and flush the mix occasionally.
Etymology
Pursegloveia honours botanist John Purseglove. The epithet minima highlights the species’ very small stature.
