I just found this plant and was thrilled to be able to take it home. Here's the information I have on it so far.

Quoted Brian Williams
'Odoras have rounder leaves.The soil you use will determine how much you should water.. I use a very airy well drained soil like pro mix it works well for most of what I grow. when I repot a plant like this make sure the soil is right were it was in the last pot covering up stems can cause rot. Also fertilizers can cause rot they burn the roots. I usually push a hole down with my finger in the soil at the edge of the pot and fill it with a slow release fertilizer. This way the plants roots can grow to the fertilizer rather than force feeding the plant. Odora is not a very hard plant to grow but with it being variegated it will be much slower than most.'
I'll keep this post updated as I learn more.
