Care Instructions
Light: Bright, indirect light promotes the best color expression. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch foliage and fade vibrant tones.
Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Keep soil evenly moist but not soggy; overwatering can lead to root issues.
Soil: Use a well‑draining, nutrient‑rich aroid mix. Incorporating perlite, orchid bark, or coco coir improves drainage and airflow.
Temperature: Prefers consistent indoor temperatures between 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity enhances growth and color development. Consider a humidity tray or occasional misting in dry environments.
Growth Habit: Climbing or trailing vine; supports such as moss poles, stakes, or trellises help showcase its colorful foliage.
