Care Tips

• Light: Extremely adaptable, tolerating low to bright, indirect light. While it can survive in low light, brighter indirect light will encourage more vibrant variegation. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves.

• Water: The most crucial aspect of care is to avoid overwatering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. In winter, water very sparingly, perhaps once a month or less. When in doubt, err on the side of underwatering.

• Humidity: Tolerates average to low household humidity very well. No special humidity requirements.

• Soil: Use a very well-draining potting mix, ideally a cactus or succulent mix, or an all-purpose mix amended with perlite for extra drainage.

• Temperature: Prefers average room temperatures between 18-35°C (65-95°F). Protect from cold drafts below 10°C (50°F).

• Feeding: Fertilize very sparingly, if at all. A diluted balanced liquid fertilizer once during the spring or summer growing season is sufficient.

• Cleaning: Wipe leaves occasionally with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and maintain their glossy appearance.
