| Hi & welcome to Gardenweb! D. marginata 'tricolor'. Lots of discussions about them in house plant forum. This plant is more sensitive about water chemicals than temp, as long as you're comfortable like Ken said. |

| i was sick.. i forgot the name.. lol ... i gave up on clay pots.. found them impossible to use in the house. ... they wick too much water out of the media.. so you tend to over water.. and a vicious cycle begins... if you are a newbie to houseplants.. i would suggest a plastic pot with a drain hole ... same size for now ... ken |
