Watering

Allow soil to dry completely between waterings; avoid overwatering.

Fertilizing

Once a month with a diluted liquid fertilizer during spring and summer.

Pruning

Prune at any time to control length and shape; cut just above a leaf node. Remove yellow or damaged leaves to maintain appearance.

Propagation

Propagate by stem cuttings taken in spring or summer. Cut a stem with 2–3 nodes and a few leaves, remove the lower leaf, and place in water or moist potting mix. Roots develop within 2–4 weeks at 20–25 °C. Once rooted, pot up individually.

Growing

Grow in bright indirect light; tolerate low light but variegation may fade. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, avoid waterlogging. Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during the growing season (spring to early autumn). Keep in temperatures between 18–29 °C; protect from cold drafts. Repot every 2–3 years in a well-draining pot.
