This variant of the Epipremnum impresses with its distinctive variegation and can also be easily kept by beginners in plant care, as it is not complicated to care for. It will tolerate even shadier locations, however the leaves will develop a more noticeable variegation under brighter light without direct sunlight.

Ben's care tips:
• We recommend keeping the cutting in moist sphagnum moss until it has rooted. Then it can be potted in the soil recommended under the point substrate.
• Location/light requirements: partially shaded to bright, avoid direct sunlight.
• Substrate: Ben's Philodendron & Monstera Soil, special soil
• Temperature: optimal at 27° C (day), 18° C (night)
• Watering: Keep the substrate moist and water when the upper substrate layer begins to dry with lukewarm water that is low in lime, but avoid waterlogging. Water less in winter.
• Humidity: requires relatively high humidity, spray regularly (leaves should be allowed to dry afterwards!)
• Nutrient addition: moderately every 2-4 weeks in spring/summer with diluted organ. Fertilize with liquid fertilizer
• Repot about every 2 years when the plant is properly rooted.
