Care Plan

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its variegation. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, as this can cause leaf burn.

Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist but well-draining. Allow the top two to three centimetres of soil to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering and root rot. Water less frequently during cooler months.

Humidity: Requires high humidity levels of 60 percent or more for optimal growth. A humidifier, pebble tray, or regular misting can help maintain suitable conditions.

Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18 and 27 degrees Celsius. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

Soil: Grows best in an airy, well-draining soil mix that includes orchid bark, perlite, and peat-based potting mix.

Fertiliser: Apply a balanced liquid fertiliser every two to four weeks during the growing season. Reduce feeding during autumn and winter when growth slows.

Growth Habit: A vigorous climber that benefits from structural support like a moss pole to encourage larger leaf development. Can also be left to trail naturally.
