It reaches about 40cm high and 30cm wide, with glossy green leaves patterned along the veins and central rib in cream and pink, and the colour strengthens as the plant matures. It comes from shady tropical Asian forests, so it wants filtered light rather than sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCream and pink patterning.\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy green leaves are marked along the veins and midrib in cream and pink, which brightens a dull corner without a single flower.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour that builds.\u003c\/strong\u003e The pink and cream become stronger as the plant grows, so a young plant keeps getting better.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact size.\u003c\/strong\u003e At about 40cm by 30cm it fits a table, shelf or small pot without crowding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy to look after.\u003c\/strong\u003e Once established it needs water only when the soil feels dry, and it needs no pruning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndoors or out.\u003c\/strong\u003e Grow it inside in a well lit room, or outdoors in shade in subtropical and tropical gardens.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndoors in a well lit room.\u003c\/strong\u003e Give it bright, indirect light in a pot with drainage holes.
