Plant Care & Growing Instructions

Light Levels

‘Seafoam Pink’ thrives in bright, indirect light or dappled shade. To protect the delicate pastel variegation and prevent the leaf edges from scorching, avoid harsh, direct afternoon sun. Indoors, an east-facing window provides the perfect gentle morning light to keep the colors vibrant.

Watering Requirements

Maintain consistent moisture throughout the active growing season. Water whenever the top 12 cm of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure your pot has excellent drainage; while this variety loves humidity, the tuber should never sit in stagnant, waterlogged soil.

Soil & Fertilization

Plant in a rich, well-draining potting mix with a slightly acidic pH. For the most impressive leaf production and color saturation, apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4 weeks from the moment the first leaves unfurl through late summer.

Temperature & Humidity

True to its tropical roots, ‘Seafoam Pink’ requires warmth. Only plant outdoors once soil temperatures consistently reach 21C. It prefers humidity levels above 50%; if growing indoors, consider using a humidifier or a pebble tray to maintain a lush environment.

How to Plant Your Tuber

Growing Indoors

• Potting: Plant the tuber 5 cm deep in a 15 cm diameter pot.
• Orientation: Place the tuber with the growth “eyes” (small bumps) facing upward.
• Startup: Use a warm spot (at least 20C) to encourage the tuber to break dormancy.

Growing Outdoors

• Spacing: Space tubers 2030 cm apart to allow the foliage to spread and overlap.
• Depth: Bury the tuber 5 cm deep in loosened, organic-rich garden soil.
• Winter Care: In climates where temperatures drop below 10C, lift the tubers in autumn after the leaves begin to yellow and store them in a dry, frost-free location until next spring.
