Horty Hints
Finished with the fading? This plant likes lots of bright indirect sunlight to grow and maintain its colouring. If you notice the red colour on its leaves start to dull, move to a brighter location.
Stop the spotting! It is normal for this plant to develop yellow spots on its leaves when it acclimatises to its new location, however If full leaf yellowing occurs, it’s a watering issue.
Occasional wiping of leaves with a damp cloth to remove dust will keep your plant looking fresh and feeling fine.
