Its shimmering variegation gives it a unique, almost painted appearance that catches the light beautifully, making it an instant standout in any indoor collection. This plant’s cascading vines look elegant in hanging baskets, on shelves, or trained up a trellis for vertical appeal.

It thrives in a variety of indoor environments and is tolerant of occasional neglect, making it an easy choice for busy households.

Whether grown as a lush tabletop accent or allowed to trail dramatically, this plant brings effortless charm indoors. Its forgiving nature makes it one of the most rewarding houseplants to grow, while its eye-catching foliage ensures it always draws attention.

Care Instructions:

Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain vibrant variegation; tolerates low light but grows more slowly.
Soil Needs: Requires a well-draining potting mix; an aroid mix with peat, perlite, and orchid bark is ideal.
Watering: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry before watering; avoid soggy conditions to prevent root rot.
Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity; occasional misting or a nearby humidifier can encourage lush growth.
Fertilizing: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Pruning: Trim leggy vines to promote fuller growth and remove any yellowing leaves to maintain appearance.
Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots outgrow the pot, refreshing soil to support continued growth.

Please note: This plant comes in its grower’s nursery pot, ready for you to place in your favorite decorative pot at home. The pot in the picture is not included.

Sizes: HB indicates a Hanging Basket, otherwise, the plant comes in a standard nursery pot.
