Just got this pot from WF last weekend....

Did not look carefully when I was choosing the plant as I am more focused on looking out for any mealy bugs:P

When I got home, i had a closer look at it and it seem like there is 2 variety of leaves along 2 separate vines?

Can any expert here verify?

Also, can this take full noon- evening sun?

What is the watering requirement?

Thanks!

It will do well in bright indirect sunlight and can take some direct sunnlight too. Make sure you give it some shade:)

The bi-colored leaves probably belong to the vine of the variegated carnosa. I have one pot of each of your individuals.

I *think* the carnosa likes to dry out a bit between watering, but doesn't like to be too wet or too dry.

will the normal H.carnosa have different flowers compared to the variegated carnosa?

How do u determine if it needs water? dry topsoil?

Not sure about general, but my WF pots, the carnosa has white flowers and the variegated one has pink flowers.

I'm also not sure about the watering. Just read that they don't like wet feet, so I water the plants just twice a week. But I might increase it to three times, since the variegated carnosa's leaves seem to be crinkling a bit.
