Here's a description of the plant and some care instructions to help you keep it healthy and thriving:

The leaves grow on long, trailing stems that can reach several feet in length. The variegated foliage creates a beautiful contrast and adds a touch of elegance to any space.

2. Light requirements: This plant prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon, but avoid intense midday sun as it can scorch the leaves. Place it near a window with filtered sunlight or provide artificial grow lights if needed.
