Detailed information on plant care
โญ Growing conditions
lighting
Bright indirect light - an east or west window is ideal. Strong light keeps the colors vibrant! Low light causes sparse growth and faded colors.
Irrigation
Water when 75% of the soil is dry . Keep slightly moist - leaves dry out and wrinkle if too dry. Do not let it dry out completely!
temperature
Ideal: 15-24ยฐC. Normal room temperature is fine. Keep away from cold drafts and air conditioners.
moisture
Prefers high humidity (40-60%) but also adapts to normal humidity in the house. Can be sprayed occasionally or placed on a tray of pebbles.
land
Well-draining soil with a little perlite or sand. Regular houseplant soil works fine. Add a diluted fertilizer once a month in spring-summer.
๐ง Common problems and solutions
๐ฑ Sparse/long growth
How to identify: Long stems with large spaces between the leaves
Solution: Need more light! Move to a brighter location and trim the long parts.
๐จ Faded colors
How to identify: The purple/silver turns into regular green
Solution: Not enough light - move to a place with brighter light
๐ฅ Leaves are drying
How to identify: Brown edges or wrinkled leaves
Solution: Too dry! Increase watering and humidity. Do not let the soil dry out completely.
๐ Red mite
How to identify: Small dots on the leaves, thin spider webs
Solution: Spray the leaves well (mites hate moisture) or wipe with diluted dish soap.

๐ Location tip
It is recommended to place in a hanging basket or on a high shelf, away from pets. The resin in the stems may cause skin irritation (dermatitis) and stomach discomfort if chewed, but is not life-threatening to the pet - the symptoms are mild and pass within a few hours.
๐ก Pro tip
Prune regularly to keep the plant lush and full! Simply pinch the ends of the stems - this encourages lateral growth and a bushier plant. The branches you pruned can be placed in water - within a week they will root and you will receive a new plant for free!
