A natural climber that reaches skyward in search of light, just as it would in its native rainforest habitat. This climbing plant develops aerial roots that seek surfaces to attach to, provide a moss pole or trellis and watch it create a living green wall. The vertical growth makes it perfect for small spaces where you want maximum impact without taking up floor area. Contains irritants, so keep away from nibbling pets.
Best spot: Within 3 feet of south or west-facing window
Alternative: Very bright room with large windows
