Know before you buy
No, this plant is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets.
This plant produces long, trailing stems that will naturally hang over the edge of a pot or climb if provided with a support like a moss pole. It is an excellent choice for hanging baskets or high shelves where the vines can drape.
It requires bright, indirect light to maintain its signature fenestrations and healthy growth. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves, or in low-light corners, which may cause the plant to become leggy.
While it is not overly demanding, it requires consistent attention to soil moisture and humidity levels to prevent leaf browning. It is best suited for owners who are comfortable monitoring their plant's environment and adjusting care as needed.
The unique hole-punched design, or fenestrations, typically becomes more pronounced as the plant matures and receives adequate light. Providing a climbing structure often encourages the plant to produce larger, more mature leaves with more intricate patterns.
