This is a species of plant native to South America. This plant produces gorgeous evergreen heart shaped leaves on long vines. A super hardy houseplant that is great for new plant parents. This plant also does well under fluorescent light making it a great option for offices.
Light conditions: keep it happy with indirect light. Small leaves or long spaces between leaves indicate it needs more light.
Neediness: this is a hardy and easy to care for houseplant, it will benefit from an occasional dusting to keep the pores open.
Watering: ensure your plant is kept moist with weekly watering and regular misting, however the soil must be completely dry before topping up. Expect to reduce the frequency of watering during the winter months. Yellowing leaves will indicate overwatering.
Ideal location: bedrooms, corridors, living rooms and studies
Rate of growth: fast growing plant so feel free to give it a trim if the vines get too long. Vines can reach 1.2m. Expect to re pot every 2 to 3 years. Vines can be pinched after a leaf node to encourage fuller growth.
Temperature: will be happy kept at a normal room temperature, not lower than 16c.
Pets: this plant is toxic to cats and dogs. See our range of pet friendly plants if your pet is prone to nibbling.

Packaging
♻️95% of our packaging is either biodegradable or recyclable (and we’re working hard on that last 5%).
- All our cardboard boxes are FSC certified.
- The peanuts (those squishy looking things 🥜which protect your precious plants) are starch based. Pop them in your sink and cover in water and watch them disappear in seconds. It's magic ~ honest ✨
- We wrap the base of your plant in a compostable bag to prevent loose soil.
- We pop your care card and gift message in a protective sleeve too, it might look like cello but it's not! It's made in Britain and is both compostable and bio-degradable.
- Your pots are wrapped in paper cushioning, it's an alternative to bubblewrap. It's both recyclable, biodegradable and compostable.
- Compostable packaging ~ the lowdown: Small amounts of compostable packaging can be placed in your food waste bins (depending on your council), so both our compostable bags and sleeve could go in there ✅. Alternatively look for a shared compost heap in your area as your local recycling centres are not set-up for compostable waste (currently). Compostable materials leave no toxic substances or pollutants in the soil when they break down. In fact, the compost produced can be used in the same way as soil or plant fertiliser. There is a difference between biodegradable and compostable. Biodegradable simply means a material breaks down into the ground. Compostable materials also break down and far quicker too, but they add nutrients to the soil too, which enriches it. 🌱🌱🌱

It's not just the plants that we care about though, we're pretty proud of our market leading (sustainable) packaging too. We’ve created a family of transport boxes with handles and where possible use our 'anti-roll' device which prevents the plant from travelling around should the box be inadvertently tipped upside down during transit.
