Originally from the rain forests of Central and South America, where they climb up trees to reach higher light levels, consequently sturdy support is essential as stems can reach a height of 20' or more. They are easy to grow and with proper care, leaves of up to 45cm (18") across can be achieved!
Site: Bright indirect light to bright shade.
Temp: Average warmth..
Water: Water well in the growing season. Let the compost dry out slightly between watering. Mist frequently.
Feeding: A liquid feed every month or so over the growing season.
Tip: If water drips from the leaves then it has been over watered, let the compost dry and water less.
