Farfugium Firefly

Firefly Leopard Plant ✨🌿 is loved for its glossy round leaves splashed with yellow speckles, giving it a bold, cheerful look that stands out fast in shade gardens, patios, or bright indoor spots. It does best in bright indirect light indoors or shady outdoor areas with protection from hot afternoon sun, where the foliage stays lush and the color stays strong. This plant likes consistent moisture more than dry spells, so it does best with a steady routine instead of neglect. Pro tip: if the leaves start wilting or scorching, check for dry soil or too much direct sun first 💧.
