Rosary Vine

bright indirect light (3-6 feet from a south or west window, or right next to an east window. Under a grow light, 6-10 inches away works well) is ideal. It tolerates some direct morning sun but not harsh afternoon sun, which scorches the thin leaves. Brighter conditions produce deeper color and more vivid silver markings; lower light produces paler, more muted foliage.

Tolerates average household humidity (40-50%). No special measures needed. It is more tolerant of dry air than most trailing houseplants.

Well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Good drainage is non-negotiable - root rot sets in quickly in waterlogged soil.

Spider mites are the main pest, especially in dry indoor air in winter. Look for fine webbing between leaves and stems. Root rot from overwatering is the most common cause of decline. Stems tangle easily - patience is required when detangling.
