Light
Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its golden variegation. Tolerates lower light but may become greener and grow more slowly. Avoid strong direct sunlight, which can fade the colour.

Humidity
Tolerates normal indoor humidity levels well but appreciates occasional misting or a boost in very dry spaces.

Soil
Use a well-draining houseplant mix with added perlite or sand for aeration. Repot every 1–2 years to refresh soil and encourage strong growth.

Food
Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser. Pause feeding during the winter months.

Temperature
Ideal range is 18–26°C. Avoid temperatures below 13°C and protect from cold draughts.

Pet-safe
No – toxic if ingested by pets or humans.

Trim back any reverted green leaves to keep the variegation vibrant. Propagates easily in water – perfect for sharing cuttings with friends or trailing from new pots!
