Description
Velvety leaves, lightning-bolt variegation, and total main character energy—Frydek Variegated is your statement plant with a spotlight personality. Showy and sensitive, but so worth it.
Plant Care
Light: Bright indirect light is a must. Too little light = faded variegation. Too much direct sun = scorched leaves. Filtered morning sun is ideal.
Watering: Let the top 2–3 cm of soil dry out before watering. Keep it lightly moist, not soggy. Use filtered or rainwater if you can—tap water may cause browning.
Temperature: Thrives in 18–26°C. Sensitive to temperature swings, cold draughts, and dry air—keep conditions steady and cosy.
Potting: Our Airy Aroid mix is ideal—light, chunky, and perfectly balanced for moisture and drainage. Helps prevent root rot and keeps those roots breathing.
Hot tips: Loves high humidity—60% and up is ideal. Avoid misting directly; use a humidifier or tray. Check regularly for pests—this one’s a magnet for spider mites and aphids. May go semi-dormant in winter—cut back watering and let it rest.
Pet Friendly: NO
