Know before you buy
As a vining plant, it requires a sturdy support structure like a moss pole or trellis to climb. Providing this support encourages the plant to produce larger, more mature leaves as it grows.
While it can tolerate lower light conditions, it performs best in bright, indirect light. Placing it near a window with filtered sunlight will help maintain its unique fenestration and healthy growth rate.
No, this plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best to keep it in a location that is inaccessible to curious animals.
This cultivar prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil. You should check the moisture level regularly and water when the top layer of the peat-based soil begins to feel dry to the touch.
While it thrives in higher humidity, it is surprisingly adaptable to average household levels. If your home is particularly dry, you can mist the leaves or use a humidifier to keep it looking its best.
The primary difference is the pot size, with the large option arriving in a 4-inch pot and the extra-large in a 6-inch pot. Both sizes are well-rooted and ready to continue their growth in your home.
