A hanging lantern of five petals on a shrub with maple-shaped leaves, looking like a small hibiscus that never quite opens flat.

Care. Give bright light, even moisture, and a winter rest that is cool but not freezing.

A note. It is not a maple; the leaves only borrowed the shape, which is why gardeners also call it parlour maple.
