Ed's Care Guide

• Light: Prefers bright to medium indirect light. Direct sunlight will scorch its leaves, and too-little light will result in slow growth and the leaves to lose variegation. This plant is low light tolerant, yet prefers bright light for best growth.
• Water: Water thoroughly and allow the top 1-2in of soil dry out between watering. The plant will let you know it's thirsty when the foliage begins to droop. Water less frequently in winter.
• Humidity:  Appreciates higher levels of humidity
• Temperature:  60-85F. Avoid cold drafts.
• Pruning: Prune as needed to remove brown or dead leaves.
• Feeding:  Fertilize monthly during spring and summer with water-soluble fertilizer diluted by half. 
• Propagation: Stem Cuttings in soil or water
• Growth: Trails to 3 ft or more.
