-
Light: Bright indirect light; variegation is most vivid with adequate brightness. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the lighter leaf sections.
-
Temperature: Warm-growing; thrives between 65–85°F (18–29°C). Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
-
Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60–80%). A humidifier or enclosed growing space will promote healthy development, especially at the seedling stage.
-
Watering: Keep the substrate evenly moist but well-drained. Allow the top inch to dry slightly between waterings; avoid waterlogging at the roots.
-
Growth Habit: Vining and climbing; benefits from a moss pole or trellis as it matures to encourage larger leaf development. Can also trail from a hanging basket.
Additional Notes:
Maintenance: As a baby plant, repot according to growth until it reaches medium size. Provide adequate water, light, and fertilizer, but use less than for adult plants to avoid damaging development.
