ZEBRA BASKET VINE
WATER
The Zebra Basket Vine thrives with consistent moisture but does not like soggy soil. Water the plant when the top 5 to 10cm of soil feel dry.
LIGHT
Your Zebra Basket Vine prefers bright, indirect light. Too much direct sunlight can scorch its leaves, while too little light will cause it to grow leggy and lose its vibrant coloration.
FERTILISING
Feed your Zebra Basket vine every 4 to 6 weeks during the Spring and Summer months.#
SOIL
A well draining soil mix is ideal. Visit our soil bar to add perlite and orchid bark to a standard potting mix.
TEMPERATURE
Standard household temperatures for your basket vine will be fine, but keep away from cold draughts.
HUMIDITY
Zebra Basket Vines love humidity. Increase humidity by grouping plants together, placing it near a humidifier, or setting the pot on a tray of pebbles with water.
TOXICITY
Considered non toxic to humans and animals.
General Watering Tips
Place your plant, still in its plastic nursery pot, inside the decorative pot you've chosen. This setup allows the plant to enjoy the drainage and airflow provided by the nursery pot's holes, which are beneficial for root health.
When it’s time to water, you have two options:
1. Top Watering: Take the plant, nursery pot and all, out of the decorative pot and water it over a sink. Allow the water to drain completely before placing it back in the decorative pot to prevent water build up.
2. Bottom Watering: Place the nursery pot in a shallow dish of water and let the plant absorb moisture from the bottom. This method encourages the roots to grow downward and reduces the risk of overwatering.
Both methods help keep your plant healthy by promoting good drainage and root aeration.
