This tropical vine is native to Southeast Asia and has amazing color and velvety heart-shaped leaves.

Growth Habit: A fast-growing climber that can trail elegantly from a hanging basket or scale a trellis, moss pole, or other support structure. Vines can reach up to 8–10 feet in length.
Stems: Deep red to purple tendrils that will turn woody as the plant matures.
Optimal Growing Conditions:
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch the delicate leaves, but too little light will cause the silver patterning to fade.
Soil & Water: Prefers an airy, well-draining potting mix. The soil should be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. They do not tolerate prolonged dryness.
Temperature & Humidity: As a tropical plant, it prefers warm temperatures (65–80°F / 18–26°C) and high humidity (60–80%). It should not be exposed to temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every few weeks during the active spring and summer growing seasons, scaling back entirely in the fall and winter.

Well-established in a 4 inch pot.
