    What you'll need

    • Organic potting soil (tanah organik)
    • Coco chips
    • Moss pole to climb

    All available here at the nursery.

Something wrong?

  • Yellow leaves

    Usually too much water. Let the top of the soil dry out first.

  • Long gaps between small leaves

    Too little light. Move it somewhere brighter.

  • Brown spots with a yellow ring

    Too wet for too long. Cut off the spotted leaves and water less often.
