✨ Why You'll Love It

• Show-stopping foliage: deep green leaves with rosy pink margins and veins—an eye-catcher in any German apartment.

• Compact and slow-growing—perfect for small spaces and busy plant lovers.

🌞 Light & Placement

Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid scorching midday sun—morning or afternoon light near east/west windows is ideal for European homes.

💧 Water & Humidity

Water generously during growth (spring–summer), allowing top 2 cm of soil to dry in between. In winter, reduce watering to once a month. Loves higher humidity—consider a pebble tray or bathroom placement.

🪴 Soil & Potting

Use a well-draining mix (e.g. orchid bark + peat + perlite). Repot every 2–3 years or when root-bound, gently teasing roots.

🐾 Toxicity & Safety

Non-toxic and safe for pets and children—friendly to your whole household!

🌱 Growth & Propagation

• Slow, well-behaved climber—reaches ~30–60 cm with a trellis or hanging-form.
• Easy to propagate: take 10 cm stem cuttings with at least one node and a couple of leaves—root in water or moist mix.

📆 Seasonal & Special Care

• Resents cold—keep above 15 °C, ideally 18–24 °C, especially in winter.
• Fertilize monthly with diluted houseplant fertilizer during spring and summer.
• Pruning is optional—trim to shape or to encourage fuller growth.

🐛 Common Issues

• Leaf edges browning: often from overwatering or low humidity—adjust accordingly.
• Pest alert: mealybugs and scale occasionally show up—wipe leaves and treat early.
