Specification

Light

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Too much direct sun can scorch the leaves, but low light may fade the ghostly white new growth.

Watering

Water when the top 2-3cm of soil feel dry, it likes consistent moisture but hates soggy roots. Always water thoroughly, ensuring excess water is drained out of the decorative pot to avoid root rot.

Temperature

Warm and steady (18-27°C). Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temperature drops.

Humidity

Prefers high humidity (60%+). (Most houses are 40-60%). This one would benefit from having a humidifier. 

Fertiliser

Feed each time you water in spring and summer with an organic liquid fertiliser to encourage strong variegation.

Toxicity

Toxic to pets if ingested, so best kept out of reach.
