Sanguinea can grow up to 5' in its native Brazil but in captivity we can expect it to reach a max of 2' to 3'. It would be fun to try for that 5'; it must look splendid in its natal jungle. Narrow leaves of a soft, velvety, deep green grow horizontally pointing outwards, decorated with a pale green midrib, and pale, trailing side veins curving to the edge of the leaf. These are "prayer" plants, gently closing their leaves upwards like praying hands, showing off their pretty red undersides. The name, Sanguinea, meaning "red colored" refers to the added surprise of sprays of brightest red flowers in the spring. Those are really worth waiting for.
