    • Treatment
      âś… Do:

      Place near bright windows with filtered light.

      Water thoroughly, then let the topsoil dry before watering again.

      Fertilize every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring–summer).

      Repot every 2–3 years as roots expand.

      For climbing types, provide a moss pole for stronger, larger leaves.

      ❌ Don’t:

      Don’t expose to direct midday sun — causes leaf burn.

      Don’t let sit in soggy soil — roots rot quickly.

      Don’t place in cold drafts (near open windows at night in Addis).

      Don’t over-fertilize — leads to salt buildup and burnt roots.
