The stunning pink variegation blending from the edges of this plant's leaves, while it does necessitate more light, also adds to its beauty as an ornamental houseplant. This plant grows outwards rather than upwards, as its new leaves sprout from the bottom of the stem and add to the density of its foliage, whilst keeping it a manageable height for your sideboard or shelf! Add a Light Pink Star to your collection for a splash of pink and green in your home- give it a bright spot and it will repay you with the beauty of its truly unusual foliage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eLikes bright, indirect light; too little or too much natural light and you may lose the variegation, with the leaves becoming more green or more red\/pink respectively- so keep an eye out for this as your plant acclimatises!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWater\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAllow the top third of the soil to dry out in between waters; keep in mind it will need slightly less watering in the cooler months.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAverage household humidity is fine; keep an eye out for leaf browning which indicates too dry air.
