Why You'll Love It
- Velvety Black & Gold Foliage: Deep, matte leaves with a stunning copper-gold glow and prominent light veins that catch the eye.
- Tissue Culture Certified: Grown in a sterile lab environment, ensuring your plant is 100% pest-free, disease-free, and free from pesticides.
- True to Variety: Lab propagation guarantees the unique golden variegation and velvety texture remain stable and consistent.
- Perfect for Climbing: As a semi-climbing vine, it thrives when given a moss pole or trellis, allowing its leaves to grow larger and more dramatic over time.
Care Instructions
- Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the leaves, or too little light, which will fade the golden sheen.
- Water: Keep the soil lightly moist but never soggy. Water when the top 1-2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch.
- Humidity: Loves high humidity (60-80%). Mist regularly, use a humidifier, or place the pot on a pebble tray with water to maintain that lush, velvety texture.
- Temperature: Thrives in warm temperatures between 20°C - 30°C (68°F - 86°F). Keep away from cold drafts and temperatures below 15°C.
- Soil: Use a loose, airy, and well-draining tropical mix (e.g., peat, perlite, and orchid bark) to prevent root rot.
