try a shorter version of the name (i.e. Ceropegia Woodii Variegata > Ceropegia Woodii).

Also try the scientific name if you know it, or simply search for the Genus.

I have a variegated version of a listed plant that isn't listed, can I use the same soil?

Short answer: Yes!

Long answer: While the soil can stay the same, you should take note of other plant-care aspects.

  1. Light: Variegated plants need more light than their non-variegated counterparts due to their lower chlorophyll content.
  2. Nutrients: Ensure regular feeding as variegated plants may benefit from slightly richer soil or more frequent fertilization. (Most of our mixes are quite nutrient rich, start looking for nutrient deficiences after 4-5 months of being in our soil for variegated plants).
  3. Watering: Be cautious with watering; variegated plants can be more sensitive to overwatering due to their slower growth rate.

Why are there plants in the list that are not houseplants?
