Polynesian Ivy Vine

What is the plant

Polynesian ivy is a delightful small houseplant that has interesting foliage that looks like it has a velvety or suede-like texture. A low-growing plant, Polynesian ivy is perfect for growing in hanging baskets and terrariums, as well as decorating a mantle or tabletop. The green leaves look good with most other houseplants, so you can mix it with a wide range of other varieties such as peperomia, pilea, and begonia for a fun combination.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Pellionia are moisture and humidity lovers. They should never be allowed to dry out, even during the winter season, and high humidity is a must.
Fertilizer
Feed with a weak liquid fertilizer throughout the growing season.
Sunlight
Pellionia are a definite understory plant. They dislike direct sunlight and will easily burn if exposed to the straight rays of the sun. At most, they can survive in an east-facing window.
