Care Guide

Light

Grows best in bright, indirect light. Can tolerate low to medium light, making it beginner-friendly. Avoid harsh direct sunlight, which may scorch leaves.

Water

Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows. Yellow leaves often indicate overwatering.

Temperature & Humidity

Thrives in 18–27°C (65–80°F). Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature drops. Prefers moderate to high humidity – mist leaves or use a humidifier.

Soil & Potting

Use a well-draining soil mix (potting soil + perlite + peat moss). Repot every 1–2 years as the plant grows. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.

Fertilizing

Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Pause or reduce feeding in fall and winter.

Pruning & Maintenance

Trim leggy vines or yellow leaves to encourage new growth. Wipe leaves with a damp cloth to keep them shiny and dust-free. Use a moss pole or trellis for climbing varieties.

Propagation

Easily propagated by stem cuttings in water or soil. Best done in spring or summer for faster rooting.

Common Problems & Solutions

Yellow leaves → Overwatering or poor drainage. Brown leaf tips → Low humidity or inconsistent watering. Leggy growth → Not enough light. Pests (aphids, spider mites, mealybugs) → Treat with neem oil or insecticidal spray.
