Plant Details

Growing Guide

Light

Position in bright, indirect light to maintain strong variegation and compact growth. Gentle morning or late afternoon sunshine is usually well tolerated, but avoid prolonged strong midday sun, which may scorch the leaves.

Watering

Water thoroughly when the surface of the compost begins to dry, allowing excess water to drain away freely. Avoid leaving the pot standing in water, as overly wet compost can lead to root problems.

Compost

Grow in a free-draining houseplant compost in a container with good drainage. Repot when the plant becomes crowded or to refresh the compost.

Humidity and Temperature

Although it appreciates moderate humidity, 'Yellow Hill' adapts well to typical household conditions. Protect from cold draughts and maintain warm indoor temperatures throughout the year.

Feeding

Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser. Reduce feeding during autumn and winter as growth slows.

Routine Care

Pinch out the growing tips regularly to encourage fuller, bushier growth. Trim longer stems as required to maintain the desired shape. Healthy stem cuttings root easily in water or moist compost, making propagation straightforward.

Perfect For

• Hanging baskets and plant hangers.

• High shelves and bookcases.

• Bright living rooms.

• Kitchens and home offices.

• Colourful indoor foliage collections.

Good to Know

Strong light helps maintain the vibrant leaf variegation, while lower light levels may result in greener foliage. Regular trimming encourages denser growth and provides plenty of material for easy propagation.
