How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water about once every week or so. Check the moistness, and don't water it until the soil is almost entirely dry, but don't let the soil dry out completely.
Pruning
Remove vines if they have grown too long for your taste. Removing spent flowers will keep your plant healthier.
Fertilizer
Use a liquid fertilizer mixed with four parts water and one part fertilizer. Make sure the fertilizer is mixed 5-10-5, which will keep these greenies happy.

Sunlight
These plants look like veils… And they like to be veiled from sunlight too, although not too much. You can leave your Tahitian Veil in a bright, well-lit area that is not directly within the sun's reach.
Soil
Nutritious general potting soil should work well for these little friends.
Propagation
Remove a young piece of vine and plant it in potting soil. Water a bit, and you should have some roots within a month.

Temperature
Keep your Bridal Veil out of extreme temperatures. The general room temperature will be perfect.
Container
Make sure these leafy green friends have a container that gives them enough room for their roots. Two inches (5 cm) between the root system and the sides of the pot will do perfectly. Keep Tahitian Bridal Veils in containers with drainage holes.
Fun fact
