Plant Mood Meter: Go With the Flow
Generally forgiving, but brighter light and a climbing habit make a noticeable difference in mature leaf development.
Care guide
Bright indirect light. Direct sun: Some gentle direct sun is tolerated when acclimated; avoid sudden intense midday exposure.
Water when the upper portion of the mix has dried, then water thoroughly and drain well.
Chunky, airy aroid-style mix with bark and mineral aeration such as perlite or pumice.
Average household humidity is workable; moderate humidity supports stronger climbing growth.
A vertical textured support is strongly beneficial if you want mature, fenestrated foliage.
