☀️ Light

• Bright indirect light is ideal
• Avoid harsh direct sun (can burn white parts)
• More light = better variegation

💧 Water

• Water when top 2–3 cm soil is dry
• Keep soil slightly moist, not soggy
• Reduce watering in winter/rainy season

🌱 Soil

• Loose, well-draining mix
• Best mix: cocopeat + perlite + compost + bark
• Good drainage is very important

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal: 20°C–30°C
• Protect from cold drafts and frost

💨 Humidity

• Loves high humidity (60%+)
• Mist occasionally or place near humid area
• Dry air may cause brown edges

🌼 Fertilizer

• Feed every 2–3 weeks (spring & summer)
• Use diluted liquid fertilizer
• Avoid over-fertilizing (harms variegation)

🪴 Support

• Provide moss pole or trellis
• Helps grow bigger, healthier leaves
• Encourages climbing habit

✂️ Pruning

⚠️ Common Problems
