Care Instructions:

The Velvety Viner prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate a bit of morning sun. Water sparingly; let the top inch of soil dry out before giving it another drink, and avoid getting water on the leaves. A fast-draining soil mix with good aeration is ideal. Give it a little boost with diluted balanced fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). And remember, this plant loves a bit of humidity, so consider giving it a misting or keeping a humidifier nearby.
