The white sections of the leaves lack chlorophyll, which is the pigment plants use to convert light into energy. Because the plant has less surface area available for photosynthesis, it naturally grows at a more measured pace.

Yes, as a climbing tropical vine, it will perform best with a support structure. A moss pole mimics the tree trunks it would climb in the wild, encouraging larger, more mature leaf development and fenestrations.

This plant requires bright, indirect light to maintain its unique coloration. If the light is too low, the plant may revert to producing more green leaves to compensate for the lack of energy, causing the white variegation to fade.

Check the soil moisture by sticking your finger about two to three inches into the pot. If the soil feels dry at that depth, it is time to water; if it is still damp, wait a few more days to avoid root rot.

This variety thrives in humidity levels of 60% or higher. If your home is dry, especially during winter months, using a humidifier nearby will help keep the foliage healthy and prevent the white parts of the leaves from browning.
