Know before you buy
No, this plant is toxic to pets. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious animals, such as a high shelf or a room they do not frequent.
To keep the foliage bright and colorful, place your plant in a spot that receives plenty of bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, the red coloration may fade if the plant does not receive enough light.
You can increase humidity by grouping the plant with others, placing it on a pebble tray filled with water, or using a humidifier nearby. This is especially important during winter months when indoor heating can dry out the air.
This plant prefers moderate watering. Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely before watering again, ensuring the pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.
Yes, the plant arrives established in its own pot with soil included. You can place it directly into your space as soon as it arrives.
