Key Features:

  • Size: Grows slowly, making it perfect for small spaces, with vines that can reach up to 12-18 inches in length in a 3-inch pot.

  • Leaf Shape: Heart-shaped, thick, waxy leaves with unique silver markings.

  • Hardiness: Low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and excellent for beginners or plant collectors.

  • Pot Size: 3-inch nursery pot, ideal for small shelves, hanging baskets, or desks.

  • Non-toxic.

Care Instructions:

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause the leaves to burn.

  • Watering: Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil are dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so be sure the plant has good drainage and avoid letting it sit in water. I recommend watering about every 2 weeks.

  • Temperature: Best in temperatures between 60-85°F (16-29°C). Keep in a warm spot and avoid exposure to drafts or cold temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

  • Soil: Well-draining, cactus, or succulent mix is ideal. Make sure the pot has adequate drainage holes.

  • Fertilizing: Feed with a diluted, balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring through summer). Reduce feeding in fall and winter when the plant's growth slows.

  • Repotting: This slow-growing plant does not need frequent repotting. Repot every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its pot.
