Because the leaves carry so little green, they have less to work with, so bright indirect light helps, and direct sun scorches pale tissue quickly. It is frost tender, so grow it outdoors in tropical and subtropical gardens only, and indoors elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Free draining soil or a good quality potting mix.

Feed using a liquid fertiliser at half rate every few weeks as the plant establishes, then occasionally.
