- Light
- medium to bright indirect. The pink and white forms need more light to hold their color than the plain green ones; too little and they revert
- Water
- keep lightly moist through spring and summer, then ease off in winter. It wilts dramatically when thirsty and recovers within hours of a drink, which makes it an easy one to read
- Toxicity
- toxic to dogs, cats and horses (ASPCA, listed as nephthytis): insoluble calcium oxalates cause oral irritation, pain and swelling of the mouth, tongue and lips, excessive drooling, vomiting and difficulty swallowing. Also poisonous to people (NC State Extension, medium severity); the sap can irritate skin
Toxicity confirmed against ASPCA Animal Poison Control; NC State Extension Plant Toolbox.
