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.
Why are there plants on the list that are not houseplants?
We are often asked for advice on such plants and we have added them as well.
