Taxonomy ID: 14812
Common names
WaxvineMore information about Waxvine
What is the region of origin of Waxvine
Waxvine’s native range is Southeast Asia and Australia.
What are the water needs for Waxvine
Waxvine does best in dry soil and should only be watered sparingly.
What is the right soil for Waxvine
Waxvine loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.
What is the sunlight requirement for Waxvine
To ensure optimal growth, the Waxvine prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.
What's the right humidity for Waxvine
The Waxvine is not in need of supplementary humidity. Most water is taken in by plants through their roots, thus soil watering is the most efficient way to provide humidity to your plants.
How to fertilize Waxvine
The Waxvine should be repotted either when it doubles in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing new potting soil with all the vital nutrients annually is enough to support the growth of the plant, and thus, there is no need for fertilizer. Remember that plants derive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.
Is Waxvine toxic to humans/pets?
Ploi's records do not contain confirmed information on the toxicity of this particular plant. In the event of accidental ingestion of plant material with questionable toxicity by you, a family member, or a pet, it is always a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.
What seasonal care does Waxvine need?
A typical dormancy pattern is not present in the Waxvine. If the growth slows down dramatically, confirm that the plant is getting enough sunlight and water for optimal growth.
