The Dirt
Native to South Africa. This is a fast growing plant that is low maintenance. The climbing shoots can wrap around anything close. But luckily this can be pruned if you want. This plant has a reputation of being almost indestructible!
Part Sun
This plant likes most rooms with windows facing west or east. You could place it in a spot away from a very sunny window – as light intensity goes down quick as you move away from the light source.
High
Water twice a week. Before watering, feel the soil, the top layer should be dry, if not dry wait a day or two. If the soil still is wet, you risk giving the plant too much water, you don’t want it to rot.
Pet Toxic
Only when ingested it may cause mild oral and gastrointestinal upsetness. Keep out of reach from pets and small children.
