Know before you buy
No, this plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best placed in a location that is inaccessible to cats and dogs.
The 'Reflector' is quite versatile and can handle low-light conditions, though it will maintain its vibrant leaf patterns best in bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sun, as this can scorch the foliage.
It arrives established in its own pot and is ready to display immediately. You do not need to repot it right away, as it is already settled in its container.
It is considered an easy-care plant, making it a great choice for beginners. It primarily requires consistent moisture and a warm indoor environment to stay healthy.
The 'Reflector' features an upright growth habit, which makes it an excellent choice for tabletops, shelves, or corners where you want a vertical accent.
