Plant Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates low light well. Too much direct sunlight can cause leaf burn.
💧 Water: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Don’t let it sit in soggy soil—good drainage is essential.
🌱 Soil: A standard houseplant potting mix works perfectly. Add perlite for extra drainage.
🌡 Temperature: Ideal range is 60°F - 85°F (16°C - 29°C). Keep away from cold drafts or frost.
🧰 Maintenance: Prune regularly to encourage bushier growth and manage vine length. Wipe leaves to keep them dust-free.
📏 Size: Vines can trail up to 10+ feet indoors but can be trimmed to suit your space.
