Care Instructions
Sun Light

pH: Slightly acidic to neutral (5.5–7).
Fertilizer
-
Use a balanced liquid fertilizer (20:20:20 or 10:10:10) every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer.
-
High nitrogen fertilizers encourage lush leaf growth.
-
Organic options: Seaweed extract, compost tea, or fish emulsion.
-
Stop feeding in late fall and winter.
Pruning & Maintenance

Remove yellow or damaged leaves.
-
Give a moss pole or coco stick to climb — promotes bigger leaves with more fenestrations.
