The Secret Tip for Keeping Geo Healthy2

If you’ve been around the block with houseplants, you may have a second sense about which species need a lot of water and which ones don’t.
For example, generally plants with thick, rigid leaves are more drought tolerant than thinner-leafed plants. Think succulents. Think snake plant.
But this doesn’t hold true for one of the coolest new plants: Geogenanthus (aka Geo). Horticulturist Justin Hancock says that Geo may fool you. “Geo is a very thirsty houseplant,” he says. You may think that because it has thick, fleshy leaves that it is drought tolerant. “It’s not,” he says.
