Light     Thrives best in a bright space with indirect light. It also tolerates partial shade and slightly darker rooms, but in brighter conditions it will grow faster and develop larger, more beautifully colored leaves. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can burn the leaves.

Water    Water moderately. Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. In winter, it requires less water. Overwatering can lead to root rot. If the soil stays wet for a long time, the plant may not be getting enough light or may be planted in an unsuitable substrate.

Common problems and solutions

1. Brown leaf tips – Most often caused by dry air or irregular watering. Ensure consistent watering and increase humidity if needed.
2. Yellowing of lower leaves – A natural aging process. Occasional leaf drop is normal. If it happens frequently, the plant may lack light or nutrients. Move it to a brighter spot or fertilize with a mild fertilizer. Check that the roots are healthy.
3. Pest - thrips and meally bugs do love this plant. The leaves will be weirdly shaped and colored, sometimes with silver sheen or brown spots. Try washing the leaves and use neem oil.

Pro tip    For larger leaves, provide a support made of sphagnum moss or coconut fiber for the plant to climb.
