•Growing Conditions in Native Habitat: Prefers tropical climates with moderate to high humidity, growing as a vine along trees and structures.
•Care Guide:
•Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while too little light can cause the variegation to fade.

•Ideal Temperature: Best kept between 60°F and 85°F (15°C to 29°C). Protect from frost and extreme cold temperatures.
•Watering: Water thoroughly but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
•Pet/Child Safe: Toxic to pets and children.
•Soil Type: Requires well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix, to prevent water retention around the roots.

•Pests and Treatment: Watch for aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
•Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a pot with drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.
•Pruning: Remove dead or damaged leaves to maintain plant health and appearance.
•Air Purification: Known to purify indoor air by removing toxins like formaldehyde.
