Know before you buy
No, this plant is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep it in a location that is inaccessible to curious cats or dogs.
To encourage its signature bell-shaped flowers, place the plant in a spot with bright, indirect light. While it can survive in lower light, it will likely not bloom or grow as vigorously without sufficient brightness.
As a drought-tolerant succulent, this plant prefers to dry out between waterings. Allow the soil to become mostly dry before watering again, as it is sensitive to being overwatered or sitting in soggy soil.
While it has a vining growth habit, it is not strictly necessary to provide a trellis. You can let the vines trail gracefully over the edge of a shelf or hanging planter, or train them onto a small support if you prefer a more vertical look.
The blooms produce a distinct, sweet, and savory scent that many enthusiasts compare to buttered popcorn. It is a subtle fragrance that typically becomes most noticeable when the plant is in full bloom.
