Care

General Maintenance: Prune vines as needed to prevent the plant looking too leggy and promote a full appearance. Can be propagated from stem cuttings.

Temperature: Ideal temperatures are between 18°C and 24°C. Temperatures below 10°C will cause the leaves to drop. Avoid drafts and drastic temperature changes.

Light: Bright indirect or filtered light is ideal. Too much direct sun will cause leaf scorching, and too little light will cause the leaves to drop and the plant not to flower.

Watering: Water once the top 2 inches of soil are dry. Don’t overwater, but don’t let completely dry out.

Soil: Requires a well-draining and well-aerated soil to prevent root rot. Use a mix that contains peat moss and perlite or bark.

Fertilizer: Use a slow-release fertilizer during the growing season (April to August).
