Care Guide

Care Guide:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels. Variegation may become less pronounced in low light conditions.

Ideal Room: Suitable for living rooms, kitchens, or bathrooms with bright, indirect light and moderate to high humidity.

Feeding: Fertilize every 4-6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer to encourage healthy growth.

Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity; mist regularly or place on a humidity tray to maintain moisture levels.

Ideal Temperature: Best kept between 65°F and 85°F (18°C to 29°C). Avoid temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

Watering: Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Be sure to allow the plant to dry out between waterings to avoid root rot.

Pet/Child Safe: Toxic to pets and children if ingested. Keep out of reach to avoid accidental poisoning.

Soil Type: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for aroids, or a mix with peat, perlite, and orchid bark.

Propagation: Propagate by stem cuttings with at least one node. Place cuttings in water or moist soil until roots develop.

Eventual Height and Spread: Can grow up to 6-8 feet (1.8-2.4 meters) long, making it ideal for trailing or cascading arrangements.

Growth Rate: Moderate growth rate, especially during the warmer months.

Pests and Treatment: Watch for pests such as aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat infestations with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a larger pot to allow for growth and ensure proper drainage.

Pruning: Prune to maintain shape and promote fuller, bushier growth. Trim trailing stems to keep the plant manageable.

Air Purification: Known for its air-purifying qualities, helping to remove toxins like formaldehyde and benzene from the air.

Folklore: Epipremnum species are believed to bring good fortune and prosperity to homes, making them a popular choice for interior decor.
