âś… Do:
Place near a bright window with filtered light (no harsh midday sun).
Provide support (moss pole, bamboo, string on wall) for stronger growth and bigger leaves.
Maintain moderate humidity – group with other plants, or use a pebble tray with water.
Rotate the pot sometimes so it doesn’t lean in just one direction.
Feed lightly with balanced liquid fertilizer once a month in growing season.
❌ Don’t:
Don’t keep soil constantly wet – this plant hates soggy roots.
Don’t place in full strong sun – leaves will yellow and burn.
Don’t let it sit in cold drafts (open windows at night, cold corridors).
Don’t ignore pests – small spider mite damage can spread quickly in indoor collections.
Don’t plant in very heavy clay soil in the ground – better in pots/raised beds with a light mix.
