Know before you buy
You will receive a fresh vine cutting that includes at least one node. It is carefully wrapped in moist sphagnum moss to ensure it stays hydrated and healthy during transit.
You can root your cutting in water, fresh sphagnum moss, or a light, well-draining soil mix. Keep the node submerged or in contact with the medium, and provide bright, indirect light until a healthy root system develops.
While the ‘Silvery Ann’ appreciates moderate to high humidity, it is quite adaptable to standard indoor conditions. If your home is particularly dry, placing it near other plants or using a pebble tray can help keep the foliage looking its best.
No, this plant is not pet-safe. It contains insoluble calcium oxalates, which can cause irritation if ingested by cats or dogs, so it is best kept in a location out of reach of curious pets.
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light levels, you will see the fastest growth and the most vibrant silver variegation when it is placed in a spot with plenty of ambient, filtered sunlight.
Yes, it is an excellent choice for beginners. It is a fast-growing, resilient plant that is very forgiving, making it a great way to gain confidence with vining houseplants.
