    • Treatment
      âś… Do:

      Place near east/west-facing windows indoors for ideal light.

      Fertilize monthly during growing season with balanced liquid fertilizer.

      Provide climbing support for stronger, healthier growth.

      Repot every 2–3 years as roots expand.

      Mist occasionally for humidity (Addis indoors can be dry).

      ❌ Don’t:

      Don’t expose to harsh midday sun (burns leaves).

      Don’t overwater — roots rot easily.

      Don’t trim aerial roots excessively (they help the plant absorb moisture).

      Don’t keep in very dark corners — growth will be weak and leggy.
