Maintenance

As its name suggests, these plants feature eye-catching variegated leaves with splattered shades of green, pink and yellow – as if a rainbow settled on each leaf! Not only do they look fantastic among any background but they can even thrive in low light conditions while requiring very little maintenance. They need little to regular watering and can manage in a wide range of sunlight options. Trim out any bits that have lost their color, but other than that, leave them be.
