Care Tips for Your Sows Ear Superstar:

• Light: This plant is super adaptable! It loves bright, indirect light, but it can also handle lower light conditions. Just make sure it’s not too much direct sun—no one likes a sunburn!
• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, but not soggy—think of it as giving your plant a refreshing drink without drowning it. A good rule of thumb is to check the top couple of inches of soil; if it’s dry, it’s time for a sip!
• Humidity: The Sows Ear thrives in humidity, so if you can, give it a little misting or place it in a steamy bathroom. It’s all about that tropical paradise vibe!

Fun Facts:

• This plant can grow up to 15 feet tall outdoors, but indoors, it’ll happily reach around 6 feet—perfect for making a statement in your living space!
• While it’s a beauty, be cautious—this plant is toxic if ingested, so keep it away from curious pets and little ones.
