With splatters of silver against a contrast of dark, earthy green, this trailing beauty literally glimmers softly in the sunlight—can you imagine eyeing that silvery sheen against the soft glow of sunshine streaming through your windows? Its Dark green leaves are adorned with silvery patches that are generously spread, creating a mosaic-like effect. This type of variegation is known as blister or reflective variegation. It occurs when air pockets form between the lower and upper layers of the leaf. Light reflects off these transparent air pockets, giving the leaves a sparkle!
CARE
- Place this plant in an area that receives consistent bright, indirect light. A few hours of morning sun is beneficial, but avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during peak summer months as this will scorch the leaves.
- Water when the first 1/3-1/2 of the soil is dry. When in doubt, this plant can tolerate a little bit of drought
- Avoid keeping soggy soil as this can quickly lead to root rot
- Appreciates moderate humidity
- Avoid allowing water to pool on the velvety leaves, as this can result in fungal issues.
- You can prune to maintain a lusher appearance if it's getting leggy or during the growing season.
