- Light
- bright indirect. Fenestrations (the splits and holes) only develop with enough light and enough maturity, so a young plant in a dark corner will stay solid-leaved
- Water
- let the top two inches dry, then water thoroughly. Give it something to climb; the aerial roots want to grab onto a moss pole and the leaves get larger when they do
- Toxicity
- toxic to dogs and cats (ASPCA, listed as Swiss cheese plant): insoluble calcium oxalates cause oral irritation, intense burning and irritation of the mouth, tongue and lips, excessive drooling, vomiting and difficulty swallowing. Also poisonous to people (NC State Extension, low severity); the sap can irritate skin
Toxicity confirmed against ASPCA Animal Poison Control; NC State Extension Plant Toolbox.
