Know before you buy
This plant requires bright, indirect light to keep its signature neon yellow and green variegation vibrant. If placed in a spot that is too dark, the leaves may lose their brightness and turn a deeper, solid green.
No, this plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept on a high shelf or in a room that your animals cannot access.
You should water when the top inch or two of the soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from sitting at the bottom, which can lead to root rot.
