    Received this as an unrooted cutting. Potted it up in a mix of good potting soil, coarse perlite, and chunky orchid bark. Roots formed quickly, and in about 3 weeks it was throwing out a new leaf. I've got it situated where it gets a little bit of morning sun, then dappled sun/shade throughout the day. It didn't mind our monsoonal rains in July, and I've watered only when the soil surface seems to be drying out. So far it seems to be very uncomplicated, and each new leaf shows a different pattern of variegation.
