Notes

Freddie plant (Goeppertia bachemiana) is a houseplant for containers and low maintenance spaces. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 11 and warmer, down to about 40°F (4°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It stays evergreen and grows 12 to 24 inches tall and wide. Keep it away from pets, since it is toxic to them.
