This plant with the exotic looks actually turns out to be very easy to grow. Let its soil dry a bit between waterings. It will let you know if it is parched by drooping, and you can generally rectify things if you let it get a little too dry: Just give it a good, long drink of tap water, letting the excess drain out in the sink. It does not need much in the way of fertilizer. Just keep it in a warm location, in bright indirect light.

If you know a bit about Feng Shui, you will appreciate this “good vibes” plant. And if Feng Shui is unfamiliar, you will love this plant no less. It has spectacular creamy patterning on its green leaves. The cream patterning is vibrant and very much like the wax-and-dye technique used on fabric by batik artists in Southeast Asia. Let this plant brighten up a corner, as long as it is in a place where pets will not nibble at it. It will trail and climb beautifully, decorating the location in which it sits.
