Know before you buy
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Placing it near an east-facing window or a few feet away from a south-facing window will provide the necessary brightness to keep the leaf patterns vibrant without scorching the foliage.
Maintain a moderate watering schedule, keeping the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out slightly before watering again to ensure the roots have proper airflow.

As a juvenile plant, the 'Paraiso Verde' will arrive smaller than a mature specimen, allowing you to watch it grow and develop its signature large, waxy leaves over time. It is an excellent way to enjoy the plant's development while it adapts to your home environment.
Yes, it requires a well-draining potting mix. A standard indoor plant soil amended with perlite or orchid bark is ideal to prevent moisture from sitting around the roots and causing rot.
