Care Instructions:
-
Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Can tolerate some direct morning sun but avoid harsh afternoon rays.
-
Water: Allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Water sparingly—overwatering is the most common cause of decline.
-
Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent mix is ideal.
-
Humidity: Prefers dry conditions; no extra humidity needed.
-
Growth: A slow grower, but with time and proper care, vines will trail beautifully.
Fun Fact: In the wild, its trailing stems root as they grow along the ground, helping it survive arid conditions by quickly absorbing moisture.
