Care Requirements

  • Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Higher light levels intensify the pink variegation, while low light can cause the colors to fade or growth to become leggy. Avoid direct midday sun, which can scorch the leaves.

  • Watering: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. It is susceptible to root rot if overwatered, so ensuring the pot has drainage is critical.

  • Maintenance: Wipe leaves regularly with a damp cloth to remove dust and maintain their glossy appearance.

  • Toxicity: Note that the milky sap is toxic to pets and humans if ingested and can cause skin irritation.
