This mystical vine is prized for its heart-shaped leaves, vibrant blooms, and spiritual associations. Here's how to grow it successfully from seed:
🔧 Seed Preparation Scarify the seeds: Gently nick the hard outer shell with a craft knife or sandpaper.
Soak for 24 hours in warm water to soften the seed coat and encourage germination2.
🌿 Planting Instructions Soil: Use a well-draining mix—ideally 50% compost and 50% vermiculite or horticultural sand.
Containers: Start in small pots with pre-moistened soil.
Depth: Plant seeds about 1 cm deep.
Cover: Use plastic wrap or a humidity dome to retain warmth and moisture.
☀️ Ideal Growing Conditions Temperature: 20–30°C (68–86°F) is optimal for germination.
Light: Bright, indirect sunlight or partial shade. At least 6 hours of light daily4.
Humidity: Prefers high humidity—mist occasionally or use a humidity tray.
💧 Watering & Fertilizing Water: Keep soil moist but not soggy. Let the top layer dry slightly between waterings.
Fertilizer: Use a low-nitrogen, high-phosphorus fertilizer every 4 weeks to promote flowering over foliage
