The best placement for it would be an east- or west-facing windowsill, or a little away from a south-facing window. If it's getting plenty of light in summer, you might spot a pink tint on the edges of the leaves, and the variegation will be more stable in a brighter spot. If new leaves are coming through with less white on them, your plant could probably do with more light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWater\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eLet the soil totally dry between waters.
