Yellow, orange and deep red running through every leaf, and no two plants patterned alike. It wants sun to hold that colour — in shade it quietly reverts to plain green and stops being the reason you bought it. Struck from cuttings off our own plants.

Keeping it alive

Water	Every other day in summer. It drops its lower leaves the moment it dries out fully, and they do not come back.
Light	Full sun to bright indirect. Shade turns it green within weeks and undoes the whole point.

What it actually does

Puts moisture back in the air

A potted plant transpires most of what you water into the room. In a dry Nagpur April that is measurable, and it is the one air claim about houseplants that physics actually supports.

Easier to focus near

Studies on people, not on rooms — Short breaks looking at greenery measurably restore attention and lower self-reported stress.

Colour intensity is a direct readout of how much light it gets — a plant that dulls is telling you to move it.

Where it comes from

From the Pacific islands and northern Australia, and grown across India for so long it reads as native. The colour is not a flower — it is the leaf itself, and it deepens with light rather than fading, which is the opposite of how most variegated plants behave.

A fixture of temple gardens and South Indian house fronts, planted in rows for the colour alone. In Kerala it edges the path to the door in almost every older compound.

In vastu

EastSouth-East

Kept in the east or south-east for colour and vitality.

Vastu placement is a traditional belief, and we include it because people ask. Nothing here is a claim about health. How we treat vastu, and what it does not do.
