Distinctive Features
- Leafless, trailing stems: Slender, cylindrical, and bright green, these stems can cascade down or climb when given support.
- Small star-shaped flowers: Produces delicate, pale greenish-yellow to cream-coloured blooms with a waxy texture.
- Twining growth habit: Naturally climbs or drapes, making it ideal for vertical gardens, trellises, or hanging pots.
Care Tips
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate some direct sun.
