Provide bright, indirect light; direct sunlight can scorch the leaves. Water thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil feels dry, allowing excess water to drain to prevent root rot. This plant thrives in high humidity, so consider misting regularly, using a pebble tray, or placing it near a humidifier. Fertilize every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer. Support its climbing nature with a moss pole or trellis as it grows.
