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: Keep 3-6 feet away from windows or near east side
Alternative: Moderately bright workspace or bathroom
STEP 2: Light Duration
Must receive moderate light 4-6 hours daily
Adapts to grow lights when used 12-14 hours
STEP 3: Rotate Weekly
Give a weekly 90-degree rotation for symmetrical growth
How to check: Feel soil 2 inches deep - water when dry to the touch
Pro tip: Develop a consistent soil-checking schedule
STEP 2: Water Thoroughly
Water deeply until excess flows from drainage holes
Always empty catch tray - no sitting in water
STEP 3: Wait and Repeat
Frequency: Every 7-10 days in spring/summer, 10-14 days fall/winter
Room temperature water prevents shock
