- Light & Placement
- Adapts from bright indirect light to partial shade. Variegated types need more light, and their color fades in dim spots.
- Watering
- Water once the soil has dried. Overwatering causes stem rot, so never leave water in the saucer.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- In winter keep it away from cold windows in a bright room. Dry heater air damages the leaves, so keep it at a distance.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use a free-draining mix. It grows fast and becomes root-bound quickly, so repot one size up once roots fill the pot.
- Propagation
- Extremely easy from cuttings. A stem cut with a node roots readily in water or soil.
- Pruning & Shaping
- It grows very fast, so trim regularly to keep its shape. Cutting leggy stems short makes the plant fuller.
