Plant Mood Meter: Go With the Flow
Fairly forgiving once established, but it prefers a little more consistency than true pothos and dislikes staying wet.
Care guide
Medium to bright indirect light. Direct sun: Avoid harsh direct sun; gentle morning sun may be tolerated.
Allow part of the mix to dry before watering again; water thoroughly and do not leave the pot saturated.
Airy, fast-draining mix with bark/perlite or similar coarse components.
Average to moderately humid air works well; very dry air may contribute to curling or rough edges.
Can trail, but climbing a textured support better reflects its natural growth habit.
