Light: Medium indirect light (no direct sunlight).
Water: Water the plant deeply, allowing the soil to almost dry out between waterings. During the growing season (spring and summer), feed with an aroid specific balanced liquid fertilizer.
Potting Medium: To prevent root rot year round we use well-draining, semi hydro custom mix topped with sphagnum moss.
Temperature: Warm-weather lover and does best in a more humid environment but can adapt to a drier one.
Growth Habit: Climbing. As it matures, this plant grows upward and develops aerial roots along its stems. It thrives when given support, so provide a sturdy grow pole or moss pole to climb for best performance and healthier, fuller growth, which encourages robust development and the emergence of mature, full-size leaves. -
