This vining tropical is elegant, easygoing, and perfect for adding a lush, romantic feel to your indoor plant collection.

☀️ Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its velvet texture and rich color.

• Can tolerate medium light, but leaves may become more green and less iridescent.

• Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the soft foliage.

💧 Watering

• Water when the top 2–3 cm (1 inch) of soil is dry.

• Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy.

• Use a pot with drainage holes to prevent root rot.

• Water less frequently in winter.

🌱 Soil

• Prefers a light, airy, well-draining mix:

  Potting mix + perlite + a bit of orchid bark or coco coir.

• Good drainage and airflow are key to healthy roots.

💦 Humidity

• Loves moderate to high humidity (60–80%).

• Can adapt to average room humidity but thrives with extra moisture.

• Misting, humidifiers, or pebble trays help during dry periods.

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 18–27°C (65–80°F).

• Avoid temperatures below 12°C (54°F) and cold drafts.

• Stop fertilizing in fall/winter.
