This award-winning yellow and green variegated house plant is a perfect choice to brighten up a room. Its leaves are striking, as they are formed of several finger-like segments, which radiate out from the top of the stalk, creating an umbrella-like effect.
Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from. - Home care: Place in bright but indirect light and keep well watered during the growing season - making sure that the excess water can drain away freely. Water less often in winter and maintain temperatures above 12°C. Mist the leaves regularly with water to improve the humidity around the plant, or sit the pot in a tray of moist shingle.
