Care

General Maintenance: Prune vines as needed to prevent the plant looking too leggy and promote a full appearance. Can be propagated from stem cuttings.

Temperature: Ideal temperatures are between 18C and 24C. Temperatures below 10C will cause the leaves to drop. Avoid drafts and drastic temperature changes.

Light: Moderate indirect or filtered light is ideal. Direct sun will cause leaf scorching, and too little light will cause the leaves to drop and the plant not to flower.

Watering: Water once the top few inches of soil are dry. Don’t overwater, but don’t let completely dry out.

Soil: Requires a well-draining and well-aerated soil to prevent root rot. Use a mix that contains peat moss and perlite or bark.

Fertilizer: Use a slow release fertilizer during the growing season (April to August).
