Plant Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to support healthy growth and maintain attractive variegation. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the lighter portions of the leaves.
- Water: Allow the top 3–5 cm of soil to dry before watering thoroughly. Let excess moisture drain completely and avoid keeping the root zone constantly wet.
- Soil: Use a loose, airy, well-draining aroid mix containing quality potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite or similar materials.
- Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity, ideally around 50% or higher, with good air circulation for healthy foliage and growth.
- Temperature: Thrives at approximately 18–29°C. Protect from cold drafts and prolonged temperatures below 13°C.
- Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted according to label directions. Reduce feeding during slower winter growth.
- Maintenance: Gently wipe dusty leaves with a soft, damp cloth and provide a moss pole or other support as vines lengthen. Rotate periodically to encourage balanced light exposure.
- Pruning: Trim damaged, yellowing, or excessively long growth with clean tools. Variegation naturally varies between leaves and cannot be guaranteed at a specific percentage.
- Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots become crowded, moving into a slightly larger container with excellent drainage.
Note: Variegation is naturally variable, so the amount, placement, and pattern of white or cream coloration may differ significantly from the product image. Plant size and fullness may also vary. Plant pot may vary in design, and most plants come in a one-time-use plastic grower pot.
