Plant Care 

Light: Bright indirect light is best. Can tolerate some lower light, but growth will slow.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently lightly moist. It’s thirstier than most climbers, especially during active growth.

Temperature: 18–28°C is ideal. Avoid temperatures below 12°C and cold drafts.

Potting: A chunky, moisture-retentive but well-draining mix is ideal. Our The Airy Aroid mix works well to support its vigorous root system.

Hot tips: This plant grows fast—be ready to provide a trellis, pole, or structure. Regular pruning helps keep it manageable and encourages bushier growth.

Pet Friendly: No – considered toxic if ingested
