An ideal indoor plant. Very easy care. It likes light but not direct sunshine.Doesn't mind if you forget to water it sometimes.
It has a trailing habit and can be trained up a small support or along a wall .
Elongated thick Glossy green leaves. THe longest tendril is about 60cms long.
Beautiful waxy pink flowers which come out each year. This plant has not flowered yet but will do. The pic of the flower is not a very good one but gives you some idea.
Pickup is in Kuripuni. Contactless. Payment can be made online ......if you give me your cellphone number I cant text it to you.
Thanks for looking.

To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.
For the month of September, we want to come together to share ways to boost mental health and well-being. For example, you could host an online catch up or quiz, call a neighbour who lives alone, challenge your family and friends to try a new hobby or move your body more to improve your own well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for free support from a trained counsellor.
Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re looking out for your well-being and helping others with theirs this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz
