Growing Guide
Place in bright, indirect light, avoiding direct sunlight, which can fade or scorch the patterned leaves. Keep the compost lightly and consistently moist, allowing the surface to dry slightly before watering again. Avoid leaving the plant standing in water.
'Freddie' enjoys moderate to high humidity, making it particularly well suited to naturally bright bathrooms and kitchens. Keep it away from radiators, air conditioning units and cold draughts to maintain healthy foliage.
