Amazonian Vine

This is a tropical vine that will be a houseplant in your area. It grows best in bright, indirect light and can get to be quite large. You should water whenever the surface of the potting mix is wet. The thing that makes it tricky to grow in a home or apartment is its high humidity requirement. Most people grow it in terrariums for this reason. The bare patches on your stems may be the result of low humidity. The leaves turn brown and fall off. This is not a common house plant, probably because it’s not easy for the average homeowner to provide adequate humidity. But it’s a very pretty plant, so we can see why you’d want to keep it. We suggest you take cuttings from the ends of the stems and try making a few new plants. If you grow these new, smaller plants on a pebble tray, the humidity will be higher and you may have better luck. If you can grow it in a terrarium or greenhouse, that would make the plant very happy.
