    I bought this plant because I like the variegeted foliage. But the burnt-orange flowers are also interesting. The plant requires high humidity and bright light when it is kept indoors. During the spring and summer months I hang mine under a tree, where it gets filtered sunlight. Tip cuttings root easily in soil or perlite.
