Generally easy to grow. Root rot may occur in poorly-drained or overly-wet soils. Watch for winter dieback in cold winter areas. Southern blight. Fungal leaf spot. Potential insect problem are nematodes, scale and mealybugs. Spider mites can be troublesome indoors.
I love the detail and color on the leaves.
They make for great indoor plants, due to their love for shade. Great for interior design as well as landscaping
Thank you for this information. This video was exact what I was looking for.
I find these plants are very interesting because the can grow so large and so dense.
reaches 6 to 10 feet tall, 5 to 8 feet wide; tooth-edged leaves are 3 to 8 inches long
I have never seen a plant with a speckled leaf like this. They are very interesting to look at and they do not look real at all.
The variegation sometimes misleads people into thinking the plant is sick if they don't know what it is.

How do you treat root rot on this plant? I've had one for a few years and last year some of the leaves turned black.
I have seen these plants in many indoor areas.
Lost favor in the early 2000s. Recently regained popularity with new varieties on the market.
It is interesting that they are only now becoming popular because of new cultivars.
We used to have that bush in our backyard and I fell in them. It hurt so bad
i lost one in my shade garden i think now it was due to rot maybe watered it too much....the leaves started turning black
do variegations fade away as they ages.
The male plants bear panicles of purple flowers.
can it withstand snow and cold ?
tolerates sea air
This plant has a low toxic severity. If ingested, it can cause nausea, vomiting, and possibly a fever.
Will tolerate poor soils and pollution
