- Light & Placement
- The stronger the light, the more vivid the leaf color, and it reverts to green in low light. It handles direct sun, but acclimate it gradually when moving outdoors.
- Watering
- Water thoroughly once the soil dries. It drops leaves if it gets too dry, so take care not to let it dry out completely.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- It likes warmth and humidity; temperatures below 15°C or sudden swings cause leaf drop. Keep it in a warm room away from cold drafts in winter.
- Soil & Repotting
- Plant in a well-draining mix and repot one size up once roots fill the pot. It likes humid warmth, so misting helps.
- Pests & Cautions
- The latex sap irritates skin and mucous membranes, so wear gloves when pruning or repotting and avoid touching cut surfaces.
- Notes
- Sensitive to environmental changes, may drop leaves
