The Dirt
Native to Yunnan and Souther China. This plant is extremely easy to propagate which is how it spread across the world and to the US.
Part Sun
This plant likes most rooms with windows facing west or east. You could place it in a spot away from a very sunny window – as light intensity goes down quick as you move away from the light source.
Medium
Water once a week. Before watering, feel the soil, top layer should be dry, if not dry wait a day or two. If the soil still is wet you risk giving the plant too much water, you don’t want it to rot.
Pet Friendly
Yay! This plant is not toxic to our furry friends (regardless, you don’t want them to chew on this beauty).
