Care Instructions
Light: Bright, indirect light encourages strong color expression and healthy growth. Too little light may dull the vibrant yellow tones; 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 not waterlogged; overwatering can lead to root issues.
Soil: Use a well-draining, nutrient-rich indoor potting mix. Adding perlite or orchid bark enhances 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 fuller foliage and more vigorous growth. Occasional misting or a humidity tray can help in dry environments.
Growth Habit: A vigorous trailing and climbing vine; benefits from support like a moss pole, trellis, or stake, or cascades beautifully from hanging baskets.
