🌱 Care Guide

Genus: Rhaphidophora

Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Variegation requires good light to maintain color—avoid harsh direct sun that can scorch leaves.

Water: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil dry out. Keep evenly moist but never soggy.

Humidity: Prefers higher humidity (60–90%), though it can adapt to average indoor conditions with proper care.

Temperature: Thrives between 65–85°F. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature drops.

Soil: Use a well-draining, airy aroid mix with bark, perlite, and organic matter.

Growth Habit: Climbing vine—benefits from a moss pole or support to encourage larger, more fenestrated leaves.

Fertilizer: Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength.

Toxicity: Toxic if ingested—keep away from pets and children.
