Care

Needs watering once a week and thoroughly water the soil but always let it drain out. Don’t let it stand in water in the ceramic as it is susceptible to root rot.

A nice indirectly sunny spot would work. Window sill but not too much full sun.

These can grow quite tall so be sure to stake if the stems need a bit of support!

It is crazily, strikingly beautiful. It's a really cheerful, spotty plant that looks amazing on a windowsill (coupled with the begonia beleaf from TLB too). As always, cannot fault how these plants are prepared for their travels - they arrive in perfect condition.
