Zingy and zesty, the lime green, heart-shaped leaves of this gorgeous climbing house plant will brighten up the home or office. Allow it to cascade softly from a shelf or macrame hanging basket, or pop it next to a moss pole, and watch it scramble upwards - it's so easy to grow and you can’t go far wrong!

Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery pot). They do however make excellent potted plants, and if you wish to pot yours up, we do have a wide range of pots on our website to choose from.
Home care: Water freely when in growth, but keep drier in winter. Mist the leaves regularly with water to increase humidity and every so often put it under a cold shower to wash off the leaves. Make sure the winter temperatures stay above 10°C, and repot every couple of years.
