Aucuba japonica 'Variegata' (Pot Size 13cm) Gold Dust plant; Variegated Japanese laurel sold by Boma Garden Centre

Aucuba japonica ‘Variegata’, commonly known as Gold Dust plant or Variegated Japanese laurel, is an evergreen houseplant prized for its distinctive glossy foliage heavily spotted with creamy-yellow.This slow-growing shrub is remarkably tolerant of poor light conditions, making it ideal for homes with limited natural light.In spring, it produces small purple flowers, which may be followed by ornamental glossy red berries if a male pollinator is present.Low-maintenance and adaptable, this plant thrives in moist but well-drained houseplant compost and benefits from moderate humidity.It prefers temperatures between 15-27°C and regular watering during the growing season; once established, it is fairly drought-tolerant.Prune lightly in spring to maintain a compact, bushy shape.Note: all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested and should be kept away from children and pets.
