The source listing estimates current plants at 16–18 inches tall; height, leaf count, and branching vary naturally. Photos show representative plants. Indoors, a mature plant may reach approximately 6 feet or more under favorable conditions, though pruning, container size, and care influence its eventual size. Mature size is an estimate, not a shipping guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOptional decorative planters\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsider our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/basel-6-inch-planter-white\"\u003eWhite BASEL\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/basel-6-inch-planter-black\"\u003eBlack BASEL\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/oslo-6-inch-planter-white\"\u003eWhite OSLO\u003c\/a\u003e, or \u003ca href=\"\/products\/oslo-6-inch-planter-black\"\u003eBlack OSLO\u003c\/a\u003e. Decorative planters are sold separately; the plant ships in its nursery pot. Each has a 6.3-inch opening. Compare the actual nursery pot's outside rim diameter and height before choosing a cover pot. BASEL and OSLO have no drainage holes; retain a removable inner pot with drainage.

Gentle morning sun may be suitable after gradual acclimation; protect from harsh afternoon sun. Avoid dim corners, particularly for this variegated plant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Let the upper portion of potting mix dry before watering thoroughly and draining completely. Avoid persistently wet soil or prolonged drying of the entire root ball. Check soil moisture rather than watering on a fixed schedule, and reduce frequency when growth slows.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use an airy, well-draining houseplant mix in a pot with drainage holes.

Prune with clean tools as needed to manage size or encourage branching. Wear gloves when cutting because the milky sap can irritate skin; keep sap away from eyes, children, and pets. Inspect leaf undersides and stems for pests.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRepotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Repot when crowded roots warrant it into a modestly larger pot with drainage, preferably during active growth.
