🌞 Light Requirements

• Ideal Light: Bright, indirect sunlight to enhance the golden color.

• Tolerates: Low light, but leaves may become more green than golden.

• Avoid: Direct sunlight, which can cause leaf burn.

💧 Watering Guidelines

• Water When: Top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry.

• Avoid: Overwatering—ensure the pot drains well.

• Tip: In hanging pots, check drainage regularly to prevent water buildup.

🌾 Soil & Potting

• Soil: Well-draining potting mix with peat and perlite.

• Pot: Hanging pots with drainage holes are ideal for trailing vines.

🌱 Fertilization

• Feed: Every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced, liquid fertilizer.

• Winter: Reduce feeding as growth slows.

✂️ Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune: Pinch back long stems to encourage bushier growth.

• Clean: Wipe leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to keep them vibrant and dust-free.

• Support: Can trail naturally from hanging pots or be trained to climb a moss stick.

🪴 Humidity & Temperature

• Humidity: Prefers moderate humidity—occasional misting helps.

• Temperature: 18–30°C (65–85°F); avoid cold drafts.

⚠️ Safety Note
