Plant Care Instructions

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light for rich coloration and healthy growth. It can tolerate medium light, but avoid prolonged harsh direct sunlight that may scorch the delicate foliage.
• Water: Allow the top 2–4 cm of soil to dry before watering thoroughly. Let excess moisture drain completely and avoid keeping the roots constantly wet.
• Soil: Use a loose, airy, well-draining aroid mix containing materials such as quality potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite.
• Humidity: Appreciates moderate to high humidity, although it can adapt to average household conditions. Good air circulation helps support healthy foliage.
• Temperature: Thrives at approximately 18–27°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: Handle the velvety foliage gently and remove dust with a soft brush or gentle airflow rather than frequent wiping. Provide a moss pole or similar support if a climbing growth habit is desired.
• Pruning: Pinch or trim long vines to encourage fuller, bushier growth. Remove yellowing or damaged foliage with clean, sharp scissors.
• Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots become crowded, moving into a slightly larger container with adequate drainage.

Note: Plant pot may vary in design from the product image. Most plants come in a one-time-use plastic grower pot.
