🌿 Plant Care
Sun: Bright, indirect light is ideal; tolerates medium to lower light but grows slower.
Soil: Well-draining indoor mix with added bark or perlite.
Water: Water when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry; avoid constantly soggy soil.
Fertilizer: Feed lightly every 4–6 weeks during the growing season.
Pruning: Pinch or trim long vines to keep the plant bushy and full.
Top tip: Great candidate for propagation – cut healthy vines, root them in water or soil, and replant to thicken the pot.
