Care Plan

Light

Prefers bright indirect light or filtered light. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, as it may scorch the delicate foliage and fade the variegation. Lower light conditions may reduce colour intensity and slow growth.

Watering

Keep soil consistently lightly moist but not waterlogged. Water when the surface of the soil begins to dry slightly. Avoid allowing the plant to dry out completely.

Humidity

Thrives in moderate to high humidity. Increased humidity helps maintain healthy foliage and vibrant colouring, making it ideal for terrariums or humid indoor environments.

Temperature

Prefers warm temperatures between 18°C and 28°C. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 12°C.

Soil

Requires a rich, well-draining potting mix with good moisture retention. A premium indoor plant mix with added perlite works well.

Fertilising

Feed during the active growing season with a balanced liquid fertiliser diluted to half strength every few weeks. Reduce feeding during cooler months.

Growth Habit

A compact spreading tropical plant with low-growing trailing stems, ideal for pots, terrariums, or as an underplanting in tropical displays.
