HI GL ,


No I have never put them outside , they are in my windows , variegated plants burn easily but they are used to the window light even when it gets bright and hot , when you learn how they look with just the right amount of water they grow well , I think people don't water them enough , the leaves should be full and plump not concave and shriveled and if they get that way it is easy to plump them back up :) Even the seemingly all green ones I have send up variegated babies so if you get those don't get rid of them :) will show you a pic of what I mean and I would send you one if you would like :) You are so knowledgeable it is fun to see and read the things you post , I have had streps just for a year so am still learning and it is so nice to talk to people who know so much more than I do , like to suck it up like a sponge :) and I like everyone here although I am reluctant to post sometimes so I just read :) This one isn't the pic I was looking for but it shows that the mom isn't so very variegated but the baby is and it has a sister coming too :)
