Alternanthera ficoidea – Party Time
Alternanthera ficoidea 'Party Time' is a vibrant foliage plant admired for its bright green leaves splashed with bold pink variegation. The striking contrast and colorful appearance make it an eye-catching addition to shelves, plant displays, and indoor collections.
Brighter light exposure can intensify the vivid pink coloration and help maintain stronger variegation. This compact grower adds an instant pop of color and becomes even more dramatic with proper care.
Light
Prefers bright indirect indoor light. Higher light levels help maintain stronger pink coloration and compact growth.
Soil
Use a rich, well-draining indoor potting mix that retains light moisture.
Water
Keep soil lightly moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil begins to dry.
Temperature & Humidity
Thrives in temperatures between 18–27°C with moderate humidity. Use a tray of water with pebbles or a humidifier if additional humidity is needed.
Fertilizer
Feed monthly during spring and summer using a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Potting & Repotting
Repot when rootbound or when growth slows. Pinching stems can encourage fuller growth.
