Medium to bright indirect light. It tolerates lower light with slower growth.
Use loose potting mix with perlite or bark to prevent compaction.
Take stem cuttings with nodes and root in water, moss, or soil.
Water when the top third of soil dries. Do not let the roots sit in water.
Bright indirect light keeps the yellow-green variegation vibrant.
A light aroid mix or potting soil with perlite works well.
Stem cuttings root easily from nodes in water or soil.

Water only after the soil dries fully. Reduce watering strongly in winter.
Tolerates low to bright indirect light. Growth is faster in brighter spots.
Use cactus mix or very well-draining soil to prevent rot.
Propagate by division or leaf cuttings, though variegated types may not stay true from leaf cuttings.
Let the soil dry completely before watering. Thick rhizomes store water.
Tolerates low to bright indirect light. Avoid intense direct sun.
Use well-draining potting mix with perlite or cactus mix added.
Propagate by division, stem cuttings, or leaf cuttings, but rooting is slow.
