Care Instructions
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal to enhance the vibrant yellow and light variegation. Too little light may dull the colors; avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch foliage.
Water: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Keep soil evenly moist but never soggy; overwatering can cause root issues.
Soil: Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich indoor potting mix. Adding perlite or orchid bark improves aeration and drainage.
Temperature: Prefers indoor temperatures between 65–80°F. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F.
Humidity: Moderate to high humidity supports lush foliage and vigorous growth. Occasional misting or a humidity tray can help in dry environments.
Growth Habit: Vigorous trailing or climbing vine; benefits from support such as a moss pole, trellis, or stake for vertical growth, or cascades beautifully from hanging baskets.
