Care

This is a low-maintenance plant that should be happy with average household conditions. You can fertilize every month or so during spring through summer with a normal house plant fertilizer. Wiping down the leaves once in a while will keep the dust off and have the plant looking nice and tidy.

Light

Variegated Shell Ginger prefers bright indirect light. Careful not to have it in bright direct sun as this will scorch the leaves.
