Rare Phyllantus Urinaria Pink Variegated

Dhs. 485.00

🌱 What makes it special

  • It has soft pink, creamy white, and green marbled foliage.

  • It’s very humidity-sensitive; high humidity is required to prevent wilting and dryness.Ā The leaves fold inwards at night (a ā€œsensitive plantā€ behavior).Ā 

Because of the variegation (less chlorophyll in parts of leaves), it’s more delicate: less tolerance for low light, drought stress, etc.


šŸŒž Light

  • Provide bright, indirect light. Variegated leaves need more light than fully green forms, but avoid harsh direct midday sun that might scorch the pink/white parts.


šŸ’§ Watering

  • Keep soil moist but not waterlogged; I’d let the top ~1-2 cm dry before watering again.

  • The soil medium should drain well. Variegated plants are more prone to root problems if too wet.


šŸŒ”ļø Temperature & Humidity

  • Ideal temps are like most tropicals: roughly 25–30 °C (77-86 °F)Ā 

  • Very high humidity is beneficial, especially for keeping the variegation pink and avoiding brown edges. Some sellers say 90% humidity when propagating/growing actively.Ā 

  • Good air circulation helps prevent fungal issues but avoid drying drafts.


🌿 Soil / Medium

  • Use a light, airy mix. Sellers are using sphagnum moss + perlite, or moss + perlite blends.Ā 

  • It should retain moisture but still drain well, to avoid waterlogging.


🪓 Pot & Repotting

  • Pot with drainage holes.

  • Because the plant is delicate and slow in some cases, don’t disturb the roots often. Only repot when it outgrows the container.


šŸ½ļø Feeding / Fertilizer

  • During active growth, feed with a balanced, diluted fertilizer. Because variegated parts have less chlorophyll, avoid over-fertilizing (can burn).

  • Might benefit from occasional foliar sprays/mists (if safe) in humid conditions.


šŸ•’ Night behaviour

  • Leaves fold inward at night (sensitive plant trait). That’s natural. Don’t worry when you see this—just ensure rest period at night (lower light).
