Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to apply water fairly sparingly. Keep in mind when planting that Variegatum is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. A soil ph of between 6.0 and 7.0 is ideal for Variegatum as it does best in weakly acidic soil - neutral soil.
