The variegated form is equally as hardy as old rubber. This house trendsetter is suited to positions of light sun and partial shade. Perfect for cheering up the corner of your home office.
Best space & place
A spot with bright light is key to keep this plant thriving, but not direct sun as that will burn the leaves.
When to water & feed
Water only when the soil is dry to the touch. Reduce the watering in winter. Partial to a light misting.
Need to know
Does not like a draught, so keep in a room with a steady constant temperature of 12 degrees and higher.

Decorative pot not included, available to buy here. The plant will be delivered in a plastic nursery pot.
For no fuss or mess you can put the plant in the growing pot it arrives in straight inside a decorative one. This also allows allows excess water to be drained after watering.
For a good fit the opening (not diameter) and height of the new decorative pot need to be several centimetres greater than the current growing pot.
Remember to take into account tapering, as the internal height of a pot will be measured from the centre to the top but the sides will taper in on a rounded pot.
