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: Locate 3-6 feet from windows, or at east-facing spot
Alternative: Bathroom or office with moderate daylight
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
Provide 90-degree turn each week for even foliage
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
Water thoroughly so excess drains completely
Never allow plant to sit in standing water
STEP 3: Wait and Repeat
Frequency: Water 7-10 days apart in warm months, 10-14 days in cold
