Care & Maintenance
Light
- Thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid strong direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. It tolerates lower light, but growth may slow.
Watering
- Allow the top 1–2 inches (?2.5–5 cm) of soil to dry before watering again. Over-watering or waterlogged soil can cause root rot.
Soil
- Use a well-draining potting mix, rich in organic matter (e.g. peat or coco coir + perlite or bark) to balance moisture and drainage.
Temperature & Humidity
- Prefers warm temperatures (ideally ~18–27 °C / 65–80 °F).
- Moderate to high humidity is beneficial. In dry indoor air, occasional misting or a humidity tray helps.
Feeding & Fertilization
- During growing season (spring–summer), fertilize about every 4–6 weeks with a balanced liquid fertilizer (or slow-release fertilizer).
Repotting & Pruning
- Repot every 2–3 years (or when roots outgrow the pot), using fresh well-draining soil.
- Trim away yellow or damaged leaves. If you want climbing growth, provide a moss pole or trellis; for trailing habit, use hanging baskets or shelves.
Pest & Problems
- Watch for over-watering — can cause yellowing leaves or root issue
- Ensure good drainage and avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot.
