Key Features:
-
Unique variegation: White and mint accents highlight the deep green textured leaves, making each leaf look like a piece of botanical art.
-
Indoor size: Compact growth habit, often staying in the 1–3 ft range (~30–90 cm), perfect for shelves or tabletops.
-
A rare and stylish houseplant that elevates any collection.
Care Instructions:
-
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Variegation performs best in strong indirect daylight; avoid direct sun which may scorch leaves.
-
Water & Soil: Use a porous, well-draining mix (e.g., peat/coir + perlite + bark). Keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy; allow the top inch to dry slightly before watering.
-
Humidity & Temp: Loves high humidity (60%+ preferred) and warm temperatures (~65–80 °F / 18–27 °C). Sudden drops in temperature or low humidity can stress the plant.
-
Feeding: Feed during the growing season (spring through early fall) with a balanced fertilizer; reduce feeding in winter. Maintenance requires some attention but pays off in stunning growth.
-
Common Issues: Variegation can fade if light is inadequate; leaf drop or yellowing may signal light, humidity or root-zone issues. Sensitive to salts—use filtered or low-mineral water if possible.
