Light
Low to bright, indirect light. The variegation fades in low light and comes back in brighter spots.
Watering
Water when the top half of the soil is dry, about every 1 to 2 weeks. Leaves droop a little when it's thirsty and perk up after watering.
Humidity and temperature
Normal room humidity is fine. Keep it between 60 and 85°F.
Watch for
Long, bare vines mean it wants more light. Trim them back and root the cuttings in water to make the plant fuller.
