Why You'll Love It

This plant is a showstopper that only gets more beautiful with time. Young leaves emerge with soft white markings and dark green edges. As the plant matures, the white deepens and spreads, creating a butterfly-like appearance that adds movement and life to any shelf, windowsill, or hanging basket.

Care Guide

Light: Bright indirect light is ideal. Tolerates lower light, but variegation may fade. Avoid direct sun.

Water: Water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry. Allow excess to drain. Avoid standing water.

Humidity: Loves humidity — mist occasionally, use a pebble tray, or place near a humidifier.

Temperature: Thrives between 60–85°F. Keep away from cold drafts and AC vents.

Soil: Well-draining potting mix. Add perlite for better drainage.

Fertilizer: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

Pro Tip: The brighter the indirect light this plant receives, the more vivid its white variegation becomes. Move it closer to a window in winter.
