🌱 Plant Profile

  • Habitat & Habit: A hemiepiphytic vine—starts terrestrially, then climbs when it encounters a support; aerial roots will grasp a moss pole or other structure

  • Leaves: Matte, heart-shaped, leathery, typically 12–30 cm long and 13–21 cm wide, supported by long D‑shaped petioles
  • Growth: Begins slowly but once established can grow quickly—hardy and low-maintenance

🌞 Care Requirements

Care Aspect Recommendation
Light Prefers bright, indirect light. Tolerates medium light—direct sun may scorch leaves
Watering Allow top 50% of soil to dry before thoroughly watering. In growth season, water about once a week or every 4 days .
Soil Use a loose, airy, organic-rich aroid mix (peat/perlite/orchid bark). Avoid heavy soils to prevent root rot .
Humidity Thrives at ~50–70% humidity but adaptable. Higher humidity supports optimal growth .
Temperature Ideal range 15–27 °C. Avoid below ~13 °C (55 °F) .
Fertilizer Apply balanced feed weekly during summer (weak strength)/3–4× yearly; ease off in winter .
Support Provide a moss or bark pole to climb—promotes larger and healthier leaves .
Repotting Refresh soil annually or repot every 2–3 years or when rootbound .

✔️ Summary Care Tips

  • Bright, indirect light—avoid harsh midday sun.

  • Water when upper soil is dry—weekly in growth season.

  • Use chunky, well-draining mix.

  • Provide climbing support.

  • Maintain moderate humidity and warm temps.

  • Fertilize regularly in warm months; repot periodically.
