Size:
Height 8 - 10 feet
Care:
Light:
Tree ivy can tolerate low light, but it's best placed in a spot with bright to medium light to avoid lanky growth. While they can handle bright light, avoid direct, intense sunlight, which can burn the leaves.
Water:
Water regularly (weekly) to keep the soil consistently moist, but don't let it become soggy. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, especially in winter when the plant is dormant.
Humidity:
Tree ivies appreciate some humidity, so misting them occasionally can be beneficial, especially if the air is dry.
Temperature:
Keep above 40ºF
Soil:
Use a well-draining potting mix that is slightly acidic or neutral in pH.
Pruning:
Pruning is recommended to encourage bushier growth and maintain the desired shape. You can prune at any time.
This is terrible. It stopped drinking. Probably over-watered, which can cause root rot. Will open him up and see what's under the hood.
