Know before you buy
Yes, it is highly recommended for beginners. It is a forgiving, low-maintenance plant that adapts well to various indoor environments.
It thrives best in medium to bright indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, bright indirect light will help keep the yellow variegation on the leaves vibrant.
No, this plant is not pet-safe. It is toxic if ingested, so it should be kept in a location that is inaccessible to cats and dogs.
The plant arrives in a standard 6-inch plastic grower's pot with drainage holes. While it is perfect for a hanging basket, you will need to place it inside a decorative hanging planter or use a macramé hanger to display it that way.
You should water when the top inch or two of the soil feels dry to the touch. Because the pot has drainage holes, ensure you empty any excess water from the saucer to prevent root rot.
