    🪴 Care Guide

    Feature Details

    Water Allow soil to dry out between waterings; do not overwater.
    Humidity Prefers moderate to high humidity (50%+), but adaptable.
    Temperature 60–85°F (16–29°C); protect from frost and cold drafts.
    Soil Light, well-draining mix (e.g. orchid mix + perlite + potting soil).
    Fertilizer Use a balanced or low-nitrogen fertilizer monthly in spring and summer.
    Potting Use pots with drainage holes; avoid frequent repotting.
    Support Provide a trellis, moss pole, or allow to cascade from a hanging pot.

    🌱 Propagation

    • Easily propagated from stem cuttings in water, sphagnum moss, or soil.

    • Ensure cuttings have a few nodes and at least one leaf for best success.

    💡 Tips & Fun Facts

    • New growth may emerge with blushes of pink or red—this is normal and beautiful!

    • Avoid placing it in direct sun for long periods, as variegated leaves are more sensitive.

    • Let the plant become slightly root-bound to encourage flowering.

    • Flowers often appear from old peduncles (flower stalks), so never cut them off!

     

    1. a. In Water

      • Place cuttings in a glass jar with the bottom node submerged.

      • Use clean, room-temperature water.

      • Change the water every few days to prevent rot.

      • Roots will appear in 2–6 weeks.

      • Transplant to soil when roots are 1–2 inches long.

      b. In Soil

      • Use a light, well-draining mix (e.g., coco coir + perlite).

      • Keep the soil moist but not soggy.

      • Place in a warm, bright (indirect light) area.

      • Roots may form in 3–5 weeks.

      c. In Sphagnum Moss

      • Moisten sphagnum moss and wrap it around the node.

      • Seal it in a plastic bag or container to trap humidity.

      • Check for roots in 3–4 weeks, then pot it in soil.

    2. Maintain Humidity:

      • Use a humidity dome or ziplock bag if your environment is dry.

      • Keep the cutting at 65–80°F (18–27°C) for best results.
