Pet & Child Safety

Pot & Soil
Likes a cozy pot. Needs well-draining but moisture-retentive mix - peat with perlite.
Pot-size watering
The 8-12 day range is a starting point. A 5cm pot can need checking much sooner, while a 22cm pot may stay moist for longer. Keep the soil lightly moist, but check below the surface so a large pot is not staying soggy.
Prefers snug roots
This plant usually prefers a snug root zone. Size up only when roots are circling, the plant dries out much faster than usual, or growth has clearly stalled.
Soil refresh
Refresh tired or compacted soil yearly, because moisture-loving plants still need air around the roots, not dense wet mix.
Good to Know
Pink, white, and green variegation. Stunning but demanding.
