Light & Temperature: Key Factors for Vibrant Growth

• Requires medium to bright indirect light to maintain variegation
• Grows best in temperatures between 70-85°F (21-29°C)
• Keep away from cold drafts or extreme heat

Maintaining Humidity & Encouraging Climbing

• Needs humidity levels above 65% for optimal health
• Thrives with a coir pole, moss pole, or trellis
• Regular misting helps keep leaves hydrated and lush

Signs That Indicate It’s Time to Repot

• Roots outgrowing the pot or struggling to retain moisture
• If the plant experiences stunted growth, it may need fresh nutrients
• Compacted soil or lack of drainage can signal the need for repotting

Watering & Soil Recommendations

• Water when the top inch of soil dries out
• Use a well-draining, organic mix with coco coir and perlite
• Avoid overwatering, as the roots are sensitive to rot

Protecting Against Pests & Keeping Leaves Healthy

• Potential issues: Fungus gnats and scale insects
• Prevention measures:
• Introduce sticky traps for gnats
• Use horticultural oil to prevent scale infestations
• Keep leaves clean to prevent dust buildup, which attracts pests
