Description:
This beautiful plant actually cleans the chemicals out of the air while it humidifies and oxygenates its surroundings. A great house plant or patio plant, it likes the humidity. If you are growing in a dry environment (like most homes) you can create humidity for the plant by growing it in a pot that sits in a saucer full of rocks. The saucer should be about 1/2 full of water. The water should never be high enough in the saucer to touch the pot containing the plant. These vining, fast-growing wonders can live many years with proper care.
General Growing Tips:
Use well-drained soil with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5 and low feed. Watch for spider mites and mealy bugs. Several cuttings per pot should be used on these varieties (our starters have 3 plants per starter) because the more cuttings, the more full the pot. Allow 8 weeks at 60 degree night temperature for 4" pots. Grow in low to medium light. Plant 15 cuttings or 4 starter plants per 10" basket and allow 12 weeks to finish.
