Description

The Gold Dust Plant (Aucuba japonica), a popular choice for shaded gardens and indoor settings, is renowned for its striking, glossy green foliage, speckled with golden-yellow spots. This unique variegation gives it a "gold dust" appearance, adding a vibrant pop of colour to low-light spaces. Ideal for Perth’s climate, this hardy evergreen performs well in pots or shaded garden beds, bringing year-round colour and texture to any setting. It can reach a moderate size, making it versatile for indoor or outdoor landscaping.

This plant thrives in part shade or bright, indirect light, with well-draining soil. Water it moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between watering sessions to prevent waterlogging. The Gold Dust Plant is low-maintenance and generally resilient, making it a great choice for beginners or those looking for a robust, eye-catching plant that’s easy to care for.
