• ☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid harsh direct afternoon sunlight.
• 💧 Water: Water when the top 2–3 cm of soil feels dry. Avoid keeping the soil constantly wet.
• 🌱 Soil: Use a loose, airy, well-draining mix containing cocopeat, perlite, bark, and organic matter.
• 🌡️ Temperature: Maintain around 18–30°C and protect from cold drafts.
• 💦 Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity, ideally 60% or above.
• 🧪 Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer once every 3–4 weeks during active growth.
• 🪴 Potting: Use a pot with good drainage. Repot when roots become crowded.
• 🌿 Support: Provide a moss pole or trellis if you want stronger climbing growth and larger leaves.
• ✂️ Maintenance: Remove yellow or damaged leaves and wipe foliage occasionally to keep it clean.

Alans Garden Tip: Avoid overwatering and poor drainage. Allow excess water to drain completely after watering to maintain healthy roots.
