Indoors it wants bright indirect light and humidity, and pinching the tips keeps it bushy instead of leggy. Outdoors in Alabama it makes a striking summer foliage plant in a shaded bed or container, then comes back inside before frost. Few plants sell themselves this hard on a photograph. Offered in 4-Inch Pot, shipped well-rooted from our Lineville, Alabama nursery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMature size: 1-3 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrows best: Indoors - bright indirect light; outdoors in summer shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePet safety: Not known to be toxic to cats and dogs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSourcing: Nursery-grown by Wade Greens; ships healthy from our Lineville, Alabama nursery to the lower 48 states.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright indirect light - the colour fades in deep shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Keep evenly moist; it wilts dramatically to tell you\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich, well-draining houseplant mix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed monthly spring through summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big does it get?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1-3 ft indoors; pinch the tips to keep it bushy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much light does it need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBright indirect light.
