Frequently asked questions
I can't find the plant I want in the list above
Try searching with a shorter plant name. (e.g. instead of Ceropegia Woodii 'Variegata' > Ceropegia Woodii).
Also search for the plant by its Latin name or genus.
If you still can't find it, contact us using the form below or call us for help.
I have a panache variety of a plant that is not listed. Can I use the same soil as the green variety of this plant?
Short answer: Yes!
Detailed answer: While the substrate may be the same, it will
While the substrate may be the same, other aspects of variegated plant care should be considered.
- Light: Panache plants need more light than their green counterparts because of their low chlorophyll content.
- Fertilization: While panache plants do not require additional fertilizers, be extra careful not to give too much fertilizer, as the growth rate is slower and they use less nutrients.
- Watering: Be careful with watering. Panache plants may be more sensitive to overwatering due to their slower growth rate.
