🌞 Light & Placement
Thrives in bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant variegation. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch its delicate leaves. Ideal near east or west-facing windows with sheer curtains.
💧 Water & Humidity
Water when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry. Loves high humidity (60%+). Mist regularly or place near a humidifier to keep foliage lush and healthy.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Use a rich, airy aroid mix with coco coir, orchid bark, and perlite for optimal drainage. Provide a moss pole or support to encourage upward climbing growth.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
Toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of pets and children for safety.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
Slow-growing but forms long vines with proper support. Propagate via stem cuttings with nodes for successful rooting in water or moss.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
Growth slows in winter; reduce watering and keep temperatures above 18°C. Clean leaves gently with a damp cloth to maintain shine and photosynthesis efficiency.
🐛 Common Issues
Watch for spider mites or thrips in dry air. Ensure high humidity and regular leaf checks to prevent infestations.
