Pink Lady

Pink Lady is a great plant for indoor plantings.

Pink Lady is able to survive well under low light making it ideal for indoor gardens and terrarium use.

They will also do very well in small pots.

This cultivar is a fast growing creeper and can be pruned very short to be kept small and compact for long periods.

Water well it kept in pots but sparingly in terrariums; potting mix should be allowed to almost dry between waterings.

Keep in a bright well-lit area or provide artificial light. Avoid heaters and draughty positions.

Fertiliser should be only used it you would like the plant to grow.

Lack of fertiliser will keep plants shorter and more compact.

Temperatures above 20 deg C will speed up growth, between 15 and 20 deg C growth will be extremely slow and plants can be pruned to keep compact.

Long periods below 12 deg C may cause plants to rot.

Dead leaves must be removed to prevent damage to healthy growth.

Keep on the dry side in winter.

Caution - harmful if eaten.

Skin & eye irritant.

Good growing
