Plant Care
Light:Bright indirect light is ideal. They can tolerate some shade, but the colours that make them so fab will fade. Direct sun with scorch these lovelies' leaves.
Watering: They always prefer moist but not soggy soil, so give your plant water when the top inch of the earth starts to feel dry. Be careful not to overwater; you don't want to risk root rot, and don't let the soil dry out completely.
Temperature:18-20°C is its ideal temperature range.
Potting: A well-draining mix that holds moisture is an excellent choice. OurThirst Trapmix is a great choice.
Hot tips: Humidity lovers! Great choice to add to your terrarium project or keep in a steamy (bright) bathroom. Pinch back leggy growth to keep your plant full and bushy. Rotate regularly for even colour and shape. If colours dull, increase light and check watering.
Pet Friendly: YES
