Know before you buy
No, this plant is not pet-safe. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation or discomfort if ingested by cats or dogs.
While it tolerates low light, the 'Neon' variety performs best in medium indirect sunlight. Brighter, indirect light will help the leaves maintain their signature vibrant, chartreuse hue.
This plant prefers to dry out slightly between waterings. Check the top inch of soil; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water, but be careful not to let it sit in standing water to avoid root rot.
It is a vining plant, so it will naturally trail over the sides of a pot or shelf. If you prefer a climbing look, you can train it to grow upward by providing a moss pole or a small trellis.
Yes, it arrives fully potted in soil. You can place it directly into your space as soon as it arrives, though you may want to let it acclimate to your home's light levels for a few days.
