Care guide
- Light: Bright indirect light helps retain its yellow color. It tolerates lower light, though growth can slow and variegation may be less vivid. Avoid harsh, prolonged direct sun.
- Water: Allow the potting mix to dry thoroughly between waterings, then water and let excess drain. Water much less often in low light or cool months; soggy roots can rot.
- Soil: Use a loose, fast-draining succulent-style mix in a pot with drainage. If using our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, hand-blended in small batches and sold separately, add extra perlite or pumice to create a fast-draining mix; avoid a dense, moisture-retentive medium.
- Temperature and humidity: Keep warm and frost-free, away from cold drafts. Average indoor humidity is suitable.
- Feeding: Feed sparingly during active spring and summer growth, if needed, with a balanced slow-release fertilizer according to its label directions. Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents, sold separately. Reduce or pause feeding in winter, during inactivity, or during extreme heat or cold.
- Pruning: Remove fully dead or damaged leaves at the base with clean tools; avoid cutting healthy leaves merely to shorten them.
- Repotting: Repot only when crowded, using a slightly larger pot and keeping the plant at the same soil level.
- Propagation: Divide established offsets with roots to retain the ‘Gold Star’ pattern. Leaf cuttings may not reproduce the same variegation.
