Light:

Thrives in bright, indirect light.

Tolerates some direct sun, which can enhance leaf color.

Can survive in partial shade but may lose vibrancy.

Water:

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry.

Avoid overwatering — it's susceptible to root rot.

Reduce watering in colder months.

Soil:

Well-draining potting mix.

A cactus or succulent mix works well, or regular potting soil with added perlite/sand.

Temperature:

Prefers 18–28°C (65–82°F).

Not frost-tolerant — bring indoors if temps fall below 10°C (50°F).

Humidity:

Average household humidity is fine.

Can tolerate dry air, but appreciates occasional misting.

Maintenance:

Remove dead or yellowing leaves to keep it tidy.

Repot every 1–2 years as needed.

Decorative Foliage: Eye-catching variegated leaves brighten up any space.

Air-Purifying (Mild): Like many green plants, it helps refresh indoor air slightly.

Low Maintenance: Very forgiving and great for beginners.

Groundcover Option: Can be used in landscaping as a colorful, fast-spreading groundcover.

Compact Growth: Perfect for small spaces, desk plants, or shelf displays.
