It grows easily outside here in Sydney. If you live near the coast in Albania it would be worth trying outside. It grows easily from a cutting, so...
Looks like an Iresine.
Don't think it matters. If it has flowered once it should keep on doing so unless in too much shade.
Leave them alone! Here in Sydney Cliveas take a year after flowering before the fruit are fully ripe, when they will fall off into your hand at a...
I find it hard to believe that among all the experts no-one has a clue about Calatheas. When you managed to identify Cyanastra cordifolium. Oh well!
It is apparently a new introduction here, I hoped perhaps there might be older ones elsewhere to give me an idea of its eventual size. Will wait...

The first photo shows the entire plant. Each leaf comes up on its own stalk from ground level. No tubers or rizomes, just fibrous roots, I...
Yes, all pictures are of the same plant. And the flowers are just above the ground. Fairly sure it is not an Australian native. A week later it is...
An unknown plant bought 4 years ago I thought was an Aroid, possibly a Homalomena, but now it has flowered. Does any clever person know what it is?
