Plant Care

Light Requirements: Provide bright light with several hours of direct or filtered sunlight each day. Good light helps maintain the plant’s vivid coloring.

Water Requirements: Keep the soil evenly moist but well drained. Water when the top 1–2 inches begin to dry and allow excess water to drain completely.

Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced houseplant fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer. Reduce feeding during fall and winter.

Soil: Use a rich, well-draining houseplant potting mix with good organic matter.

Temperature: Prefers temperatures around 65–85°F. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Pet Safety: Toxic if ingested. The milky sap can also cause skin irritation.

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity. Consistent humidity can help support healthy leaves.

Growth Habit: A bushy, upright tropical shrub with large, leathery leaves featuring colorful yellow, orange, pink, and red markings.
