Gold Dust Plant

Description

The Gold Dust Plant (Aucuba japonica) has glossy green leaves that are speckled with gold, giving it a striking appearance. The stems are thin however, so if you want the plant to grow tall, staking will be required. Bright, indirect light is best, and be sure keep out of direct sunlight. It prefers cooler room temperatures, as well! Soil should be kept slightly moist at all times, usually needing water once or twice each week depending on the season and other growing conditions.
