The plant grows on a sturdy, climbing or trailing stem, adding a touch of lush greenery to any space.
- Size: Height: Up to 3-6 feet (0.9-1.8 meters) when mature, depending on growing conditions and care. Spread: Typically 2-4 feet (0.6-1.2 meters) in width.
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate low light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
