With its bushy form and cascading growth, it is equally stunning in containers, hanging baskets, or as an accent plant.Light Requirements: The Snow White Waffle Plant performs best in bright, indirect light, where its colorful variegation is most pronounced.

It adapts well to standard household conditions but appreciates environments with consistent warmth and moderate moisture in the air. Protecting the plant from drafts or sudden temperature fluctuations will help keep its foliage healthy and attractive.
