Thrives Guaranteed or We Fix It

• Originally from Southeast Asia and the Pacific, this tropical beauty has become a favourite in Australian subtropical and tropical gardens.
• Features striking variegated leaves with pink, burgundy, and green colouration that intensifies with proper light conditions.
• Grows in a compact, upright habit reaching moderate size, making it perfect for containers and smaller garden spaces.
• Beloved for its year-round foliage display and ability to add instant tropical ambiance to any setting.

• Water weekly during growing season, allowing top inch to dry between waterings. Reduce to fortnightly in winter.
• Position in bright, filtered light indoors or morning sun with afternoon shade outdoors. Avoid harsh midday sun.
• Plant in well-draining potting mix with added perlite or bark. Garden soil should be enriched with compost.
• Feed monthly with liquid fertiliser during spring and summer growing season. Cease feeding in winter.
• Prune dead or damaged leaves at the base using clean secateurs. Remove flower spikes to encourage foliage growth.
• Maintain humidity with regular misting or pebble trays, especially during dry Australian summers.

• Provide bright, indirect light indoors or dappled shade outdoors for best foliage colour. Too much direct sun can fade the vibrant variegation.
• Water when top inch of soil feels dry, maintaining consistent moisture without waterlogging. Reduce watering in winter months.
• Maintain humidity levels of 50-60% for optimal growth using pebble trays or regular misting. Higher humidity enhances leaf colour intensity.
• Keep temperatures between 18-25°C for best growth. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C in winter.

• Scale insects can attach to leaves causing yellowing and sticky honeydew. Wipe leaves with rubbing alcohol or apply horticultural oil spray.
• Root rot occurs from overwatering or poor drainage. Ensure well-draining soil and reduce watering frequency.
• Brown leaf tips indicate low humidity or fluoride in tap water. Increase humidity and use filtered or rainwater when possible.
• Spider mites may appear in dry conditions causing stippled leaves. Increase humidity and spray with insecticidal soap.
