Essential Care Guide

Light: Bright, indirect light for best variegation; tolerates medium light but may fade in low light.

Water: Water when the top 1″ of soil is dry; avoid standing water to prevent root rot.

Humidity: Prefers 50–70%; thrives with occasional misting or a pebble tray.

Temperature: 65–80°F (18–27°C); protect from drafts and temps below 60°F (15°C).

Soil & Fertilizer: Use a well‑draining mix; feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

Propagation: Easily rooted from stem cuttings in water or soil within 2–4 weeks.

Pruning & Support: Trim leggy vines to encourage fullness; provide a moss pole or trellis for climbing.

Pests: Watch for spider mites and mealybugs; treat early with neem oil or insecticidal soap.

Pro Tip: Boost Growth & Variegation

Rotate monthly for even light exposure and place near a humidifier or on a pebble tray to mimic tropical conditions.
