Plant Care Instructions

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain strong variegation but adapts to medium indirect light. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which may scorch the foliage.
• Water: Water when the top 2–4 cm of soil feels dry. Water thoroughly and allow excess moisture to drain; avoid keeping the soil constantly wet.
• Soil: Use a loose, well-draining indoor potting mix rich in organic matter. Perlite and orchid bark can be added to improve drainage and root aeration.
• Humidity: Average household humidity is generally suitable, although moderate to higher humidity can encourage larger, healthier foliage.
• Temperature: Thrives between approximately 18–27°C. Protect from cold drafts and prolonged temperatures below approximately 13°C.
• Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted according to its directions. Reduce feeding during winter.
• Maintenance: Rotate periodically for balanced growth and gently wipe the leaves when dusty. Provide a climbing support if a more upright growth habit is desired.
• Pruning: Trim long or sparse vines just above a node to encourage branching and maintain a fuller, more compact appearance.
• Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots become crowded. Move into a container slightly larger than the current pot and use fresh, well-draining soil.

Note: Plant size, fullness, trailing length, leaf shape, and variegation patterns may vary naturally from the product image. Decorative pot design and color may also vary. Most plants are supplied in a one-time-use plastic grower pot.
