Key Features:

• Vibrant Foliage: The leaves start green with white variegation and develop beautiful green-toned stripes, with the pink hue intensifying as the plant matures.

Care Requirements:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Some direct sunlight can enhance the pink hue, but avoid intense midday sun to prevent leaf burn.
