Care for Peacock Plant
- Start with a healthy plant when learning how to grow a peacock plant. Resist the small nursery plant with browning leaf margins or poor leaf color, as it likely cannot be nursed into a full recovery. Place this plant in a low to moderate light environment.
- Use soil that holds moisture and drains well. A 2 part peat and 1 part sand or perlite mix will do the trick.
- Water thoroughly during the growing season then naturally reduce during winter. Good drainage is important.
