CARE GUIDE:
Light. Place yours in bright indirect light. This plant will not tolerate low light and variegation will fade. Close to an eastern window or just a few feet back from a southern or western window is ideal.
Water. Ensure the soil is 50-75% dry before watering. Always water generously until it drains from the drainage hole to promote a robust root system. Remove any surplus water from the saucer.
Humidity. Your plant thrives in typical household humidity, it appreciates additional moisture from a pebble tray or a nearby humidifier.
Toxicity. Toxic to pets and humans.
Additional Care. Your plant is responsive to changes in its environment, particularly when relocating. If you need to shift your plant to a significantly different location, it's advisable to do so gradually to prevent sudden leaf drop. Exercise caution when pruning, as the plant may release a milky latex substance that is mildly toxic. In case of contact with the sap on your hands or skin, promptly wash with warm water and soap.
