Native to the humid rainforests of South America, this attractive climber with deep green heart shaped leaves, grows as a semi - epiphyte, starting out life in the loose organic debris of the forest floor and then finding a tree to climb and cling to with its small aerial roots produced by the stems. (Scandens is Latin for climbing) As an indoor plant, it can be left to simply cascade elegantly from its pot or provided with supports to enable the long stems to travel upwards, which will often result in larger leaves
Position - a warm spot with indirect light/partial shade.
Water - regularly enough to keep the root ball consistently moist but not soggy. The top couple of inches can be allowed to slightly dry before watering again. Water evenly around the plant and discard any excess that flows out of the base. Do not leave the pot sitting in water as this will lead to root rot
Feeding - Apply a balanced feed once a month between spring and autumn to give it a nourishing boost
Ideal Temperature - 18°C and 24°C (65°F and 75°F).
Repotting - Re pot in loamy aerated peat free compost with added bark or coir
This is in a 15cm nursery hang pot .You will receive a plant similar to the one in photo
