🌞 Care Tips:

• Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Dappled sun or filtered light will help maintain strong growth and potential for flowering. Avoid harsh midday sun.
• Water: Water when the top 3–4 cm of the mix is dry. Avoid overwatering—roots are sensitive to excess moisture.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50–70%). Benefits from regular misting or use of a humidifier, especially during dry seasons.
• Temperature: Thrives between 18–30°C. Do not expose to temperatures below 12°C.
• Soil: Use a chunky, airy mix—orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir or sphagnum moss. Drainage is critical.
• Feeding: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced fertilizer. Use bloom-focused formula to encourage flowering on mature plants.
• Growth Habit: Fast-growing vine—ideal for training on a trellis or letting trail freely. Prune lightly to encourage bushiness.

📝 Notes:

• Rooted and well-established in pot
