Growing Guide
Indoor Placement
Place in bright, indirect light for the strongest variegation, although it also performs well in moderate light. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Watering
Water when the top few centimetres of compost feel dry. Water thoroughly, allowing excess water to drain away, and reduce watering during the winter months.
Humidity
Average household humidity is perfectly suitable, although the plant will also appreciate the naturally higher humidity found in bright kitchens and bathrooms.
Feeding
Feed once a month during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser to encourage healthy foliage and the production of new plantlets.
