Environment

Habitat: 64 - 81°F

It's important for this plant to be set in a warm environment to make sure it continues to grow. This will allow it to stay hydrated and ensure it does have the chance to grow. If it is kept indoors, it is best to put it in a space where there is indirect sunlight and the temperature does not fluctuate rapidly. It is these fluctuations that can be bad for the plant and can make it difficult to maintain.

Maximum Size: 6 - 8' plus

It is common for this plant to grow tall when it is in the right environment. Because it's a vine it will continue to grow more than 8', if allowed depending on how it is set up. If it is kept straight, it will continue to grow and it is going to hit its maximum height.

Space / Planter Size: Large

To make sure its roots have space to grow, it is best to make sure to have a larger planter. This ensures the planter does not get in the way of how the plant grows. This becomes doubly important when the plant starts to grow taller as that will cause it to expand.
