Plant Care Instructions
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light for vigorous, compact growth but adapts well to medium light. Avoid prolonged harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the foliage.
- Water: Allow the top 3–5 cm of soil to dry before watering thoroughly. Let excess water drain completely and avoid keeping the soil constantly wet.
- Soil: Use a loose, airy, well-draining indoor or aroid potting mix containing materials such as quality potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark.
- Humidity: Adapts to average household humidity but appreciates moderate to higher humidity for especially lush foliage and vigorous 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 according to label directions. Reduce feeding during slower winter growth.
- Maintenance: Rotate the hanging basket periodically for balanced growth and gently wipe dusty leaves with a soft, damp cloth. Arrange or guide vines as needed to maintain an attractive display.
- Pruning: Trim long, sparse, or uneven vines to control length and encourage fuller, bushier growth. Remove yellowing or damaged foliage with clean tools.
- Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots become crowded, using a slightly larger container or hanging basket with adequate drainage.
Note: Plant fullness, leaf size, vine length, and growth habit may naturally vary from the product image. Hanging basket or plant pot may also vary in design. Most plants come in a one-time-use plastic grower pot or plastic hanging basket.
