This adaptable plant tolerates medium light but may produce more green leaves with less variegation in lower light conditions. Propagates incredibly easily in water - simply take stem cuttings and watch roots develop! Provide a moss pole or trellis to encourage climbing, or let it trail beautifully from hanging baskets. Wipe leaves occasionally to showcase their striking silver streaks.
