- The Nertera granadensis 'Astrid', commonly know as the Coral Bead Plant or the Pin Cushion Plant, is a mat forming evergreen perennial with small bright green leaves.
- It produces yellowy green bell shaped flowers during the Spring and glossy orange fruit in the Autumn and Winter.
- This plant is best kept indoors as a house plant but can go outside for short periods of time during nice weather. If put outside during nicer weather, it's important that it's brought back indoors at the first sign of rainfall.
- Please note: the decorative pot shown in the images is for illustration purposes only and is not included with the plant.

Watering Keep the compost lightly and evenly moist, watering when the surface just begins to dry. Avoid both prolonged dryness and waterlogged roots, and let excess water drain freely after each watering. Water a little less in winter, while maintaining reasonable humidity around the foliage.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright, indirect light and protection from harsh direct sun, ideally at around 15-24°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use a good-quality, well-drained houseplant compost and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. Most houseplants perform best with moderate humidity and should be kept away from strong radiator heat.
