  • LIGHT

    Bright, indirect light is preferred but they can tolerate medium indirect as well but colors may be subdued with lower light. Avoid direct sunlight.

  • WATER

    Allow only the top of the soil to dry out between watering. These plants want to be slightly moist, without being soggy. Make sure you are using well-draining soil. These plants will also benefit from extra humidity but normal room humidity will be fine.

  • TIPS

    • Use in a trailing basket or in the back of a terrarium!
    • Rotate often to ensure even growth.

  • TOXICITY

    Non-toxic to pets and people. As with all plants, use caution around children or pets.
