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: 3-6 feet from window, or in east-facing window
Alternative: Bright bathroom or office with windows
STEP 2: Light Duration
Needs moderate light for 4-6 hours daily
Can adapt to artificial lighting (12-14 hours daily)
STEP 3: Rotate Weekly
Rotate weekly by a quarter turn for balanced development
How to check: Insert finger 2 inches into soil - water when dry at this depth
Pro tip: Check regularly to maintain proper moisture
STEP 2: Water Thoroughly
Saturate soil until water exits bottom holes
Discard saucer water after 15 minutes to prevent root rot
STEP 3: Wait and Repeat
Frequency: Every 7-10 days in growing season, every 10-14 days in winter
Use room temperature, filtered water when possible
