Aucuba japonica Variegata – Gold Dust Plant Care & Info Guide
Horty Hints
Out-side-in. Valued for its ability to thrive in almost any environment, you may be familiar with Aucuba japonica as an outdoor plant. These specimens are hardened to indoor conditions.
Cool dude. Japanese Laurel prefers things a little cooler than most indoor plants so avoid putting too close to any heat sources or into scorching sun.
Too much sun, hun! Crispy leaves are a sign that your plant has had too much sun. Relocate to rejuvenate.
Light
Prefers a shaded area to bright, indirect light. Will tolerate some lighter shade, but too much light will cause discolouration of leaves. Avoid direct sunlight.
Watering
In the growing season ensure the soil remains moist at all times, watering when the top of the soil feels slightly dry to the touch. In winter allow the potting mix to dry out a little more between watering. Do not allow to sit in soggy soil. Use soft water if possible.
Temperature
Frost hardy, this plant can tolerate lows of –10°C. Prefers cooler indoor temperatures of 15-21°C.
Humidity
Average indoor humidity levels are fine. Keep away from heat sources where it may dry out.
Feed
Feed once a month with a balanced fertiliser during the growing period.
Height & Growth Rate
Moderately fast growing, once established the Gold Dust Plant can reach indoor heights of 2m.
Toxicity
Not known to be toxic. Keep away from pets and children to be on the safe side.
Origin
Aucuba japonica originates from Japan and is widespread across China and Korea.
