Pot it inRosy Aroid Soil · 4 qtChunky and airy, the way climbing aroids like it. 4 qt repots 2–3 plants. Peat-free, by Rosy Soil

Feeding

Liquid fertilizer monthly in spring and summer.

Grooming

Remove old lower leaves as they fade.

Through the year

Spring and summer: growing season, so feed and repot if needed. Fall and winter: water less, stop feeding, and keep it away from heat vents and cold glass.

If something's off

New leaves coming in green means too little light. Not for nibbling pets.

Why we stock it: Color like a flower, with none of the deadheading.

That's the whole guide. Thanks for reading.
