Red Betel

Red betel is better known as an herbal plant that has properties for the body.

Recently, this plant with the Latin name Vernonia elliptica has become increasingly popular because it is often used to decorate the walls of offices and cafes. Maintenance is also relatively easy because it is resistant in all weather. Just water regularly at least once a day and fertilize.
