Care tips
Watering
Water about once a week. Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy. Thick roots store water, so a short dry spell is fine.
Light
It likes bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch the leaves. Stripes fade in dim spots.
Feeding and repotting
Feed every 4 weeks in spring and summer. Repot when the thick roots push up out of the soil. Baby plantlets can be potted on their own.
Watch out for
Brown leaf tips are common. They often come from fluoride or hard tap water, or from dry air. Rainwater helps.
