care instructions:
Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates lower light but grows faster and splits more with higher light levels.
Soil Needs: Requires a chunky, well-draining potting mix; an aroid mix with orchid bark, perlite, and peat or coco coir is ideal.
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil is dry; avoid soggy conditions.
Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity; benefits from regular misting or a nearby humidifier.
Fertilizing: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Pruning: Trim yellow or damaged leaves and cut back vines to shape the plant and encourage fuller growth.
Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow the container to refresh soil and allow continued development.
