Plant Characteristics & Care

• Appearance: Features light green, tendril-like foliage that curls into whimsical spirals. In spring, it can produce yellow-green flowers with a sweet, vanilla-like fragrance.
• Light: Requires bright, direct light for as many hours as possible to keep its leaves tightly curled; insufficient light may cause the leaves to grow straight.
• Watering: Use a "drench and drought" method, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can easily lead to root rot.
• Dormancy: A winter grower that typically goes dormant in summer after flowering. During dormancy it may lose its leaves, and watering should be significantly reduced.
