The leaves have a glossy and light green color and the texture of the leaf feels like leather.

Climbing plant

You can have fun growing and climbing this plant thanks to its aerial roots. In fact, in the wild they grow up against tall trees, among other things. They need the solidity of a tree or, for example, a moss stick to grow bigger. So this allows you to determine the shape of the plant yourself!
