-
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can adapt to medium light.
-
Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy. It’s tolerant of occasional missed waterings.
-
Humidity: Loves moderate to high humidity. While it can adapt to normal room levels, a boost in humidity will enhance leaf texture and colour.
-
Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18–27°C.
-
Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark for airflow. A tropical mix or aroid blend works well.
-
Feeding: Fertilize monthly during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.
-
Pruning: Trim leggy growth or yellowing leaves to maintain shape and encourage fuller, bushier vines. Propagates easily in water or soil from stem cuttings.
