Plant Care Guide
Plant Care Guide
☀️ Light: Prefers bright indirect light. Avoid harsh, direct sun which can scorch its velvety leaves.
💧 Water: Water when the top inch of soil dries out. Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy.
🌫️ Humidity: Loves moderate to high humidity. Ideal for homes with humidifiers or grouped plants.
📏 Size: Mature vines can grow several feet long; leaves become larger with climbing support.
🐾 Pet-friendly?: ❌ Not pet friendly (toxic if ingested).
🪴 Where It Looks Best: Perfect for living rooms, plant shelves, and setups with a moss pole or trellis where it can climb and show off its long, velvet leaves.
💡 Pro Tip: Provide a moss pole to encourage larger leaf growth. Gently wipe the velvety foliage to remove dust without damaging the surface.
