The dainty leaves of this houseplant are adorned with delicate colors, making it highly sought-after by both novice plant enthusiasts and experienced collectors. It is known for its low maintenance requirements, adding to its appeal. To ensure variegation, it is important to regularly prune back fully pink or fully green stems. While green stems are aesthetically pleasing, they tend to grow faster than the variegated parts, potentially overpowering the plant if left unattended. To maintain the vibrant colors of this particular cultivar, it thrives in bright light. However, excessive exposure to direct sunlight, especially when placed outdoors or in intensely bright south or west-facing windows, may cause the leaves to appear pale and washed out. If you notice any signs of sun stress, it is advisable to relocate the plant slightly away from the light source until it shows signs of improvement and seems happier.
