* The plant photos shown are our stock images used to represent the general appearance, size, and quality of the plant you’ll receive. Please remember that each plant is unique—natural variations in color, shape, and size are completely normal!

Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light.

• Can tolerate medium light, but growth will slow and leaves may be smaller.

• Avoid direct sunlight — it can scorch the leaves.

Water

• Allow the top 2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings.

• Overwatering can cause root rot; underwatering may cause leaf curling or browning.

• Reduce watering slightly in winter, when growth slows.

Humidity

• Loves high humidity (50%+ ideal).

• Low humidity can cause brown leaf edges.

• Can benefit from misting, a humidifier, or a pebble tray.

Temperature

• Thrives in 65–85°F (18–29°C).

• Avoid temperatures below 55°F (13°C) and cold drafts.

Soil

• Use a well-draining, aerated soil mix.

• Ideal mix: potting soil + perlite + orchid bark.

• Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent waterlogging.

Fertilizer

• Feed once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

• Reduce or stop fertilizing in fall/winter.

Pruning & Support

• Prune leggy growth to encourage fuller plants.

• Can be trained to climb a moss pole or trail from a hanging basket.

Propagation

• Easy to propagate via stem cuttings in water or soil.

• Ensure cuttings have at least one node for roots to develop.

Common Issues

• Yellow leaves: overwatering.

• Brown leaf tips: low humidity or inconsistent watering.

• Pests: spider mites, mealybugs, scale — treat promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
