The creamy yellow top leaves create a beautiful contrast against the deep green undersides, making it a standout plant in any collection.

Care Tips:
-
Keep in bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant yellow variegation. Too little light can cause the plant to revert to more green foliage.
-
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry—be sure to allow excess water to drain to avoid root rot.
-
Fertilize monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer to promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage.
-
Prefers humidity levels around 50% or higher but adapts well to average indoor humidity.
Growth Habit:
-
Trailing growth habit, reaching 3–6 feet or more in length.
-
Perfect for hanging baskets, window sills, or as a cascading plant in a decorative pot.
-
Grows quickly and is ideal for both beginner and experienced plant caretakers.
Pet Safety:
Toxic to pets and humans if ingested (contains calcium oxalate crystals). Keep out of reach of pets and children.
