In lower light it grows more slowly. Avoid harsh direct sun, which can scorch the leaves. Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry — it likes to dry out a bit between waterings rather than stay soggy. Empty any saucer so the roots don't sit in water. Humidity: Loves higher humidity as a tropical aroid, but adapts to normal household humidity; extra humidity supports lush, healthy growth. Temperature: Typical room temperatures (roughly 65–85°F). Keep it away from cold drafts and heating or AC vents. Soil: A chunky, well-draining aroid mix (potting soil with bark and perlite) in a pot with drainage. Support: Give it a moss pole or trellis to climb — climbing encourages larger, more mature leaves. Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced houseplant fertilizer in spring and summer; pause in winter. Pruning: Trim to shape anytime; stem cuttings with a node root easily in water. Care tip: If leaves stay small or sparse, give it more bright indirect light and a pole to climb. Best Display Spots Bright living-room corner with a moss pole: let it climb into a statement. Shelf or plant stand: trailing types spill over beautifully. Near an east or north window: bright, indirect light without harsh sun. Bathroom or kitchen (if bright): enjoys the extra humidity. Office with good indirect light: an easy tropical accent. Best For / Think Twice If Best for: Philodendron and aroid fans Bright, indirect-light spots People who enjoy watching a plant grow and mature Statement-foliage lovers Beginners ready for an easygoing climber Think twice if: Homes where pets may chew leaves — it is toxic to cats and dogs Very dark rooms Anyone who tends to overwater plants Shoppers wanting a compact plant that stays small Botanical Exhibit Notes It's a climbing tropical aroid (family Araceae) — happiest with something to climb, like a moss pole or trellis. Aroids like this are easy to propagate — a stem cutting with a node roots readily in water or soil. In good light it grows quickly through the warm months, pushing out fresh leaves. Given a moss pole and bright indirect light, its leaves tend to get larger as the plant climbs. Shipped Fresh from Florida to Your Home Florida Plant ships across the United States.
