Know before you buy
Yes, this variety is highly recommended for beginners. It is resilient and adapts well to various indoor conditions, requiring only moderate watering to thrive.
While it tolerates low light, it still requires some natural light to maintain its health and variegation. Rooms with soft, indirect light or a small window are ideal.
No, the Pictus | Silver Splash is toxic to pets if ingested. We recommend placing it on a high shelf or in a hanging basket out of reach of curious animals.
Because of its trailing growth habit, this plant looks best in a hanging basket or placed on a high ledge where its heart-shaped leaves can cascade downward.
The plant ships in a standard plastic nursery pot. You may want to repot it into a decorative container of your choice once it has acclimated to your home environment.
