Container Gardens/Terrariums/Houseplant: This plant can do well in most container gardens with good drainage. It can be removed in due time if it reaches too large of a size.

Vivariums/Animal Terrariums: Being a succulent preferring well-draining soil on the more dry side of the spectrum, this plant is not recommended for vivariums.
Care Notes: For better bloom production, it is recommended to keep this plant a bit rootbound.
It is important to not remove the leafless “spurs” that grow at the end of the rope vines. Although not as attractive as the rest of the plant, these spurs are where the blooms will form.
As good practice, Josh's Frogs recommends washing all plants thoroughly removing as much soil as possible with dechlorinated water before placing them in their final home. Live plants from Josh's Frogs are treated only with products that are OMRI Listed© for use in organic production. Live plants may vary in color, size and appearance.
