Know before you buy
To encourage and maintain the signature pink variegation, place your plant in a spot with bright, indirect light. Insufficient light can cause the plant to revert to solid green leaves, while direct sun may scorch the foliage.
Yes, as a vining plant with a natural climbing habit, it benefits significantly from a moss pole or trellis. Providing vertical support encourages larger leaf growth and mimics its natural environment.
No, this plant is toxic to pets if ingested. It is best kept in a location that is inaccessible to cats and dogs, such as a high shelf or a room they do not frequent.
This plant thrives in high humidity. You can maintain ideal levels by grouping it with other plants, using a humidifier, or placing it on a pebble tray filled with water.
Water your plant when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. It prefers consistent moisture but is sensitive to overwatering, so ensure your pot has proper drainage to prevent root rot.
