    • Treatment
      âś… Do:

      Grow in hanging pots to show off trailing zigzag stems.

      Provide a support or trellis if you want upright growth.

      Repot every 2–3 years with fresh airy soil.

      Mist lightly in dry seasons (Addis homes can be dry indoors).

      ❌ Don’t:

      Don’t expose to harsh midday sun — stems burn easily.

      Don’t overwater — roots are very sensitive to rot.

      Don’t use heavy, compact soils.

      Don’t ignore pests (they hide in stem joints).
