Watering:

• Water when the top 3–5cm of soil is dry.

• Keep soil evenly moist but never waterlogged.

• Sensitive to cold; avoid temperatures below 15°C and protect from drafts.

Soil:

• Use a well-draining, airy potting mix (potting soil with perlite and orchid bark).

• Good aeration supports healthy roots and climbing growth.

Fertilizing:

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer.

• Reduce feeding in autumn and winter.

Support:

• Provide a moss pole, trellis, or stake to encourage climbing and maximize leaf size.

Pruning & Maintenance:

Repotting:

• Repot every 1–2 years or when rootbound.

• Best done in spring using a slightly larger pot.

Common Problems:

• Yellow leaves → overwatering or poor drainage.
