🌞 Light
Prefers bright indirect light. Too much harsh direct sun can fade or scorch the foliage.

💧 Watering
Requires high humidity to thrive. Keep soil lightly moist during active growth. Allow the upper layer of soil to dry slightly between waterings.

🕳️ Soil
Use a rich well draining potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark for airflow.

🧪 Fertilizing
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.

🪴 Repotting
Repot when the tuber or roots outgrow the container. Provide a trellis or allow vines to trail naturally.
