  • LIGHT

    Thrives in medium to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sun as leaves can burn and lose sheen.

  • WATER

    Keep soil evenly moist (not soggy) and do not allow to dry out completely. We sugget displaying your Purple Waffle plant in a location you'll see often as they are great visual communicators! These beauties will droop their leves when they get really thirsty but try not to let them get to this point.

    To water:

    We suggest top-watering to flush out any built up minerals in the soil. Once the water has thoroughly run through the pot, place a saucer or bowl underneath and top water again. Allow the water to collect in the saucer and sit for about 20 minutes (set a timer). Discard any water that remains in the saucer.

  • TIPS
