Leaves are upward facing or parallel to the ground, and tightly rippled. This species is most easily propagated with cuttings, which root quickly. The flower only lasts for one day.The genus “Geogenanthus” is derived from 3 Greek words that mean earth (“geos”), borne (“genus”) and flower (“anthus”). The specific epithet “poeppigii” is named after E.F. Poeppig, a German explorer and professor of zoology (1798 – 1868). This species reaches 8-10″ tall.
