The plant forms a dense, low mound that stays contained, making it easy to fit into smaller pots and tight spaces without constant pruning. Its understated character makes it a strong supporting plant in mixed indoor groupings, adding texture and structure without overpowering other plants.

Growing Conditions

• Sun: Bright, indirect light is ideal, and it tolerates medium light with slower growth.
• Soil: Fast-draining houseplant mix, and avoid heavy soils that stay wet.
• Water: Water when the top half of the pot dries, and do not let the plant sit in water.
• USDA Zones: 10 to 12 as an outdoor plant, typically grown indoors in colder climates.
• Growth Habit: Compact, mounded habit with slow to moderate growth and sturdy leaves.

Low Maintenance Care

• Light Rotation: Rotate the pot occasionally to keep growth even and maintain a balanced shape.
• Feeding: Feed lightly in spring and summer with a diluted houseplant fertilizer.
• Grooming: Remove aging leaves and wipe foliage occasionally to keep the plant looking crisp.
