A low, spreading plant with vivid white or pink veins on dark leaves. Dramatic but recoverable: it faints when thirsty, then springs back after a drink.
The free tool tailors timing to your climate and lets you save this plant.
Medium light
Bright spot out of direct sun, an east window or a few feet back from a brighter one. Harsh sun scorches the thin leaves and fades the veining.
Every 3–5 days, more in summer, slightly less in winter.
A peat-based mix that holds moisture but still drains, with a little perlite.
Plastic or glazed ceramic with drainage, which holds humidity better than terracotta. A shallow pot suits its small root system.
Every 1–2 years in spring, or when roots fill the pot.
Easy. Take stem-tip cuttings with a node or two and root them in water or moist soil under high humidity.
Non-toxic to cats and dogs.
