Features beautiful, star-shaped, five-lobed leaves. The center of each leaf is a lovely grey-green, surrounded by a wide, irregular margin of bright, buttery yellow to chartreuse.

Flowering Period & Fruit

Flowering is uncommon, especially on indoor plants. If produced, the subsequent berries are poisonous to humans and pets.

Sun Tolerance

very adaptable. To maintain the most vibrant yellow edges, provide a spot with bright, indirect light. Protect from hot, direct afternoon sun.

Maintenance

Easy. A tough and forgiving plant. Water when the top inch of soil is dry. Trim the vines as needed to encourage a fuller, bushier plant and to control its spread.

Root System

A fibrous root system in the soil, with aerial rootlets along its stems that allow it to cling to surfaces and root as it spreads.
