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: Position 3-6 feet away from windows, or near east-facing window
Alternative: Well-lit bathroom or workspace with natural light
STEP 2: Light Duration
Prefers 4-6 hours moderate illumination per day
Works well with grow lights (12-14 hours daily)
STEP 3: Rotate Weekly
Rotate plant every week to ensure uniform shape
How to check: Stick finger 2 inches deep - if dry, it's time to water
Pro tip: Consistency is key - establish a checking routine
STEP 2: Water Thoroughly
Water thoroughly until water drains from bottom holes
Empty saucer after 15 minutes - never let plant sit in water
STEP 3: Wait and Repeat
