Complete Care Guide

Light Requirements ▼
  • Bright, indirect light enhances the beautiful cream variegation
  • East or west-facing windows provide ideal growing conditions
  • Some morning sun intensifies the variegated patterns
  • Tolerates medium light but variegation may fade slightly
  • Avoid harsh direct sunlight which can scorch delicate leaves
Watering Instructions ▼
  • Water when soil is dry - succulent-like leaves store water efficiently
  • Allow soil to dry out between waterings for best health
  • Extremely drought-tolerant and forgiving of neglect
  • Overwatering is more harmful than underwatering
  • Reduce watering significantly in winter months
Humidity & Temperature ▼
  • Average humidity: 40-60% - very adaptable to home conditions
  • Temperature range: 65-80°F (18-27°C) with consistent warmth
  • Tolerates dry indoor air excellently
  • Higher humidity may encourage fuller trailing growth
  • Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes
Potting & Fertilizing ▼
  • Use well-draining potting mix to prevent root rot
  • Prefers slightly root-bound conditions for best trailing
  • Feed monthly during growing season with diluted liquid fertilizer
  • Choose hanging baskets or pots with excellent drainage
  • Repot only when severely root-bound, every 2-3 years
Propagation & Maintenance ▼
  • Easily propagated from trailing stem cuttings
  • Cuttings root quickly in water or moist soil
  • Pinch growing tips to encourage bushier, fuller growth
