yes tropical mix with extra drainage is great!

It could be a Brasil or Global Green. 🪴🍀

I thought it looked like my heart leaf but did know the Brazil looked so similar. Either way this is what Planta thinks.

Brasil is a cultivar of heartleaf. Every once in a while my heart leaf throws a Brasil variegated leaf.
