Know before you buy
You can increase humidity by placing the plant on a pebble tray filled with water, grouping it with other houseplants, or using a humidifier nearby. Misting is generally less effective and can sometimes encourage fungal issues on the leaves.
No, this plant is not pet-safe. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation to the mouth, tongue, and throat if ingested by cats or dogs.
It means that every leaf will have a unique pattern of green, cream, and pink. Because the variegation is natural and random, some leaves may show more of one color than others, making each plant truly one-of-a-kind.
Check the soil moisture once a week and water only when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. It is important not to let the plant sit in soggy soil, as this can lead to root rot.
While it tolerates low, indirect light, it will grow best and maintain its vibrant variegation in moderate, indirect light. If the plant is placed in a very dark corner, you may notice the growth slowing down or the colors becoming less distinct.
