care

Place in a warm, humid spot away from cold drafts and air conditioning vents. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry and wipe leaves occasionally to keep their bold white and green pattern looking sharp. Feed monthly with a balanced liquid fertilizer during spring and summer and skip in winter when growth naturally slows. Remove any yellowing leaves at the base to keep the plant looking full and fresh year-round. Always handle with gloves as the sap can cause skin and mouth irritation.
