Environment

The plants grow well in bright indirect sunlight, but the colors are more intense in full sun. The soil should be well drained and fertile rich in organic content

Water thoroughly in the summer when top soil (1-2 inches) feels dry to touch and reduce watering in winter and rainy season.

Apply liquid fertilizer every 10 to 14 days during summer

Landscape Use

Ideal for neat edging for borders or walkways . Works well as a container plant too.

Foliage plants in general need access to bright indirect sunlight. Avoid keeping them in direct sunlight as it can cause leaves to burn due to extreme sunlight in the afternoon.

Make sure watering is done once the soil goes dry. Although the soil can remain moist, but it should not turn soggy/wet. Having drainage hole in the pots goes a long way in ensuring there is no water stagnating on top of the soil. You can spray the plant occasionally.

Fertilise the plant once a month in summers however Don't feed any fertiliser in winters. Giving fertiliser to the plant ensures nutrients going in which keeps it healthy. Keep an eye on the leaves of the plant to know any symptoms for watering or sunlight.
