Plant facts

Water every 2 to 3 weeks. Let the soil dry out fully between drinks. In winter, water even less.

Tolerates shade and low light. The pale leaves keep their silver color best in soft, bright light. Avoid harsh sun.

Feed twice in summer at most. Repot only when the pot is packed or bulging. The stiff roots can crack a thin pot.

Rot starts at the base if it stays wet. Mushy leaves are the sign. Wipe the dust off the upright leaves from time to time.

For people who mean well and forget.

Tells you the truth about your watering.

Smells like Sunday dinner.
